Environment
NetIQ AppManager 6.x
NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
Situation
Resolution
Below are recommended steps to removing a Secondary Management Server (MS) from your environment:
- Use the AMADMIN_SetPrimaryMS Knowledge Script (KS) to update your agents with a new Primary and/or Secondary MS. You can also use this KS to assign a (new) MS or to clear the Secondary MS from existing Agents.
- Verify your Agent jobs are completing successfully and no MS communication/reporting errors/events are appearing.
- Stop the NetIQ AppManager Management Service and other services on the Server you plan to un-install the AppManager MS.
- Use Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs to perform the un-installation of NetIQ AppManager.
Please reference the AppManager Installation Guide, "Appendix C" for more information.
Additional Information
Un-installing any component from an AppManager 6.0.x system, will cause all AppManager 6.0.x components to be un-installed from that system. To monitor a server where you have un-installed the NetIQ AppManager Management Service, you will have to re-install an AppManager Agent, and rediscover the components on that server as an Agent.
For AppManager 7.0.x computers, teh Management Server can be un-installed through Add & Remove Programs, without affecting the Agent or other AppManager components.
