The goal is to use the value of specific custom properties to classify each server's role, then use dynamic groups to apply monitor templates. However, during the optimization process our PowerAdmin installation has accumulated 'obsolete' custom properties which need to be removed entirely. The value of these 'obsolete' custom properties has been set to null using a execute script action yet, that doesn't remove the custom property from the object. Also, even when a custom property is manually removed for all objects across the PA installation, the "Possible Values" sub-list for the "Custom Property" property type still contains the removed custom property. Please advise on methods for removing a specific custom property from all objects (monitor, satellites and groups) and the entire PA installation.

You can use Bulk Config to delete custom properties from servers/devices and from monitors. As you'll see in the dialog, set the value of a custom property to:

{DELETE}

and that will delete the property. Unfortunately this technique doesn't work on groups.
