Symantec could make this easier on a lot of us if we could actually
access the database.  So far I haven't tried getting the database userid
or password from them but those would make fixing some of this type of
problem nice.  I had over 100 media that showed they were assigned but
they were not in the emm database.  I could find no way to deassign them
or make them usable again even though they all had 0 images on them.  I
spent months on this issue (not a lot of time during the months due to
having lots of spare media.) but if I had access to the database it
would have been resolved in 30 minutes.  Same as the dead media server
issue which I had to wait for media to expire and deassign.

Is it really not possible to fix this in the NBU database after the
fact?

Hm..

Put the old one back and do it properly OR..

Use:

(workaround)

FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = old_retiree new_server

Hmm, there are probably more options but those are the ones that 
immediately come to mind.
