Environment
Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP4 (IR10)
Situation
In some cases, an administrator may want to uninstall Client for OES without an immediate reboot of the workstation.
Resolution
Beginning with Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP4 (IR10), a "norestart" (or "nr") switch has been added.
To uninstall the client silently and suppress the reboot, use this command:
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32 "C:\ProgramFiles\Novell\Client\ncsetup.dll" NWUninstallClient /s /norestart
OR
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32 "C:\Program Files\Novell\Client\ncsetup.dll" NWUninstallClient /s /nr
Note:
- The above command works only if the command prompt is opened in administrator mode.
- After uninstalling the Client without rebooting, a restart of Windows is required before reinstalling the Client.
