Issue 16: The inventory ran and failed after servers were removed from the connection
profile.
Description: The Inventory attempted to run after servers were removed from the connection
profile and failed.
Resolution/Workaround: If an inventory job is started, and hosts are removed from the

finished or that no Inventory job is running when hosts are removed from Connection Profile.
