Use the Windows Control Panel to remove eDirectory, ConsoleOne, SLP DA, and NICI from Windows servers.
IMPORTANT: Removing eDirectory also removes the roll-forward log directory and all the logs in it. If you want to be able to use the logs for restoring eDirectory on this server in the future, before removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information about roll-forward logs, see "Using Roll-Forward Logs" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide.
On the Windows server where eDirectory is installed, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
Select eDirectory, ConsoleOne, or the SLP Directory Agent from the list, then click Add/Remove.
Confirm that you want to remove your selection by clicking Yes.
The Installation Wizard removes the program from the server.
When uninstalling eDirectory 8.7.3, you might receive the following error if the installation of eDirectory 8.7.3 was an upgrade from NDS eDirectory or NDS eDirectory 8.5:
Incompatible JClient/DClient Package
JClient Revision 1.0.19
DClient Revision 1.1.1095
This error occurs only when the previous eDirectory installation was performed on a date later than the dates of the eDirectory 8.7.3 files located in the \nt\i386\ndsonnt\ni\lib directory on the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 CD. If the previous installation was performed prior to those dates, this error will not occur.
To solve this issue, copy the .jar files from the \nt\i386\ndsonnt\ni\lib directory on the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 CD to the \program files\common files\novell\ni\lib directory on the Windows server before performing the eDirectory 8.7.3 uninstall.
On the Windows server where eDirectory is installed, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
Select NICI from the list, then click Add/Remove.
Confirm that you want to remove NICI by clicking Yes.
The Installation Wizard removes NICI from the server.
After uninstalling NICI, if you want to completely remove NICI from your system, delete the C:\winnt\system32\novell\nici subdirectory. You might need to take ownership of some of the files and directories to delete them.
WARNING: After the NICI subdirectory has been removed, any data or information that was previously encrypted with NICI will be lost.
