Uninstall basic Communications Manager deployment

Uninstall.exe

Wherever a Contract Manager, Communications Manager instances, and/or Batch & Output Management are installed, Uninstall.exe will remove them all.

This tool can be used in all types of deployment. For example, you can use it to remove a basic (all-in-one) installation, remove all changes made by the PrepareServer.exe tool, or launch it on different servers in case of distributed deployment.

Uninstall.exe will not remove Communications Manager components of other versions. For example, if you have upgraded your Communications Manager deployment, you may have both a new Communications Manager installation and your previous Communications Manager installation though not active. In that case, only the new Communications Manager installation will be uninstalled.

The tool works as follows:

  1. It asks for confirmation. Use Uninstall!Silent=True to suppress this confirmation check.
  2. It stops the Contract Manager, all Communications Manager instances, Batch & Output Management, and Communications Manager Control Center.
  3. It removes Communications Manager Control Center if there is one.
  4. It removes the Contract Manager if there is one.
  5. It removes all instances, one by one.
  6. It removes Batch & Output Management if there is one.
  7. It removes the Communications Manager structure.

When removing a Communications Manager component, all its web applications, Tomcat services, installation files, and registry entries will be removed.

The content of the Communications Manager Repository and Communications Manager Batch & Output Management databases is not removed.
