Clear a Computer OrgID

When a Computer was previously managed by another organization
it will not accept connections form another (new) organization.
To resolve this, the script will stop a running agent
and clear the registry settings locking a running agent to an Organization.
This script will also clear any previous ControlUp Agent customizations
The script will restart the ControlUp Service at the end

Limitation: Target computers need to be resolved by hostname and the user executing the script must be a local admin in that computer
Due to multiple remote actions, this script might take up to 2 minutes to execute
