Use the following procedures to uninstall Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 Standard Edition. This involves the following tasks:
Deactivating each server in the Enterprise pool.
Removing the files on all but the last server in the pool.
Removing the Enterprise pool.
To deactivate a server in the Enterprise pool
Log on as a member of the DomainAdmins group to a Live Communications Server that is a member of the same domain as the Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 Enterprise Edition server that you are deactivating. If the domain is a child domain, you must also be logged on as a member of the RTCDomainServerAdmins group. The Standard Edition server can be anywhere in the enterprise, as long as it is joined to a domain and the user has the necessary group memberships. You can also perform this task from a domain member server that has the Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 administrative snap-in installed.
Open the Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 snap-in: Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Live Communications Server 2005.
In the console tree, expand Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1.
Expand subsequent nodes under the Domains node until you reach the domain in which the server or pool resides.
Expand Live Communications servers and pools.
Right-click the FQDN of the server, and then click Deactivate.
To remove the Live Communications Server files on all but the last server in the pool
Log on to the Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 server as a member of the Administrators group.
Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
In Add or Remove Programs, click Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1, and then click Change.
In the Setup Wizard, click Next.
On the Program Maintenance page, confirm that the action is set to Remove, and then click Next.
Remove the Enterprise pool only after you have deactivated and removed the files from all but one server in the pool. Do not remove a pool unless you are certain that the pool is no longer used by any servers or users. After you remove this pool, you must delete its configuration from the load balancer.
