Uninstalling Agents

Archived content. No warranty is made as to technical accuracy. Content may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

The method that is used to uninstall an agent depends on how the agent was installed. This section includes methods for uninstalling agents that were installed either remotely by the Agent Manager or locally by using the manual agent setup program.

If you do not know how an agent was installed, open Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. If Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 Agent is listed, the agent was installed manually. Remotely installed agents are not listed in Add/Remove Programs.

This section includes the following topics:

  • Uninstalling remotely installed agents

  • Uninstalling manually installed agents

  • Removing files and registry keys manually

  • Uninstalling orphaned agents

  • Verifying agent removal

  • Removing agents from the MOM database
