You need to change the IPAM provisioning method on Server1.
What should you do?

A.
Run the ipamgc.exe command.

B.
Run the ipamgc.exe command.

C.
Run the Set-IPAMConfigurationcmdlet.

D.
Reinstall the IP Address Management (IPAM) Server feature.

E.
Delete IPAM Group Policy objects (GPOs) from the domain.

Explanation:
You cannot change the provisioning method after completing the initial setup. When you install IPAM and
configure either manual OR GPO, you receive the same message about not being able to change the
provisioning method. As a matter of fact, I set it up in my lab and configured it as GPO. Here is a copy/paste of
the message that is presently on the IPAM home page in server manager:
“The access configuration mode cannot be modified after completing the IPAM provisioning wizard” Also, the
help console in IPAM displays this when searching about provisioning methods: “The managed server
provisioning method cannot be changed after you complete the IPAM provisioning wizard.”

Correct, Windows Server 2012 R2 allows you to change from Manual to GPO provisioning using Set-IPAMConfiguration cmdlet. But to go from GPO to Manual still requires an uninstall of IPAM.
