IPA client is already configured on this system.
If you want to reinstall the IPA client, uninstall it first using
'ipa-client-install --uninstall'.
The ipa-client-isntall command failed. See
/var/log/ipaclient-install.log for more information
# ipa-client-install --uninstall -U

Repeat at will.
I've not encountered a client this "sticky" before. Any suggestions for
busting it loose so I can get this system working again? It's currently
enrolled with a set of IPA servers that have been decommissioned. I even
tried powering one back on but that didn't help.
Interesting. This is controlled mostly by two files,
/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.[state|index]
Before deleting everything in /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore I'd suggest
seeing what, if any other files remain (these are the backed-up files)
and what the contents of the state/index are to see if something was not
restored.
I'd also ensure that /etc/ipa/default.conf and /etc/ipa/ca.crt are not
present.
