When you uninstall the ZENworks software from a Linux Primary Server, you can remove the device from the Management Zone (unregister it) or you can leave it registered. The following sections provide instructions for both uninstallation options:
To uninstall the ZENworks software from a Linux Primary Server and remove (unregister) the device from the Management Zone, enter the following command at the server console prompt:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/zenuninstall –x –s http://IPaddress_of_the_server:port_number -u username -p password [options]
Where,
-x, --remove = Uninstalls the ZENworks software from the device and removes the device from the zone
-s = IP address of the Primary Server and the port number on which the server is running. The IP address and port number must be specified in the following format: http://IPaddress_of_the_server:port_number.
NOTE:If the Primary Server is running on the default port, 80, you need not specify the -s argument. However, you must specify the argument with the port number if the Primary Server is not running on the default ports.
-u = Management Zone administrator’s username.
-p = Password of the Zone administrator.
The command accepts the following options:
