Summary
This task describes how to completely uninstall the Universal Discovery Agent, including UD Agent with the Agent driven flow enabled, and all its associated files. A complete uninstall differs from a default, or normal uninstall which retains certain files.
Answer
Note
- Perform this task only when you will not re-install the Universal Discovery Agent.
- Configuration data files will be removed. This action cannot be undone.
- If you re-install the Universal Discovery Agent after you perform this task, reconciliation issues may occur due to the removal of the file that contains the Unique ID of the previous instance of Universal Discovery Agent. As a result, you may notice duplicate Node CIs after inventory discovery runs.
- This task can also be performed manually. For more information, see Agent Installation User Interface.
