Description
This article describes how to recover the FortiGate from not being able to delete the central-management setting because of a GUI message:
'Please unregister device from FortiManager first' (GUI).
'Please unregister-device from FortiManager first. object set operator error, -582 discard the setting Command fail. Return code -582' (CLI).
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
Investigate this problem. In the meantime, as a workaround:
Additional note:
For FortiManager Cloud, doing the change mentioned will still result in an error:
'Please unregister-device from FortiManager first. object set operator error, -582 discard the setting. Command fail. Return code -582'
In this case, un-set the serial number of the FortiManager from the FortiGate:
config system central-management
unset serial-number
end
