3.19 Uninstalling a Bundle

The Uninstall Bundle quick task lets you uninstall a bundle from one or more devices. Uninstalling a bundle does not, however, remove its assignments nor prevent the bundle from being reinstalled.

NOTE:To use the Uninstall Bundle quick task, you must enable the bundle’s uninstall options (which are disabled by default), increment the bundle’s version, and refresh the device. For more information, see Section 3.18, Enabling a Bundle to Be Uninstalled and Section 3.12, Incrementing a Bundle’s Version Number.

To uninstall a bundle:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click the Bundles tab.

  2. In the Bundles list, select the check box next to the bundle (or bundles).

  3. Click Quick Tasks > Uninstall Bundle.

  4. In the Bundles section, click to browse to and select the desired bundle (if necessary).

  5. In the Devices section, click Add to select the devices where you want to uninstall the bundle.

  6. In the Select Objects dialog box, browse to and select the objects on which you want to uninstall the bundle.

    The Select Objects dialog box opens with the Devices folder as the root folder. By default, the Servers and Workstations folders are displayed along with any custom folders that you have created in the Devices folder.

    Browse for and select the devices, groups, and folders to which you want to assign the bundle. To do so:

    1. Click next to a folder (for example, the Workstations folder or Servers folder) to navigate through the folders until you find the device, user, group, or folder you want to select.

      If you are looking for a specific item, such as a Workstation or a Workstation Group, you can use the Items of type list to limit the types of items that are displayed. If you know the name of the item you are looking for, you can also use the Item name box to search for the item.

    2. Click the underlined link in the Name column to select the device, group, or folder and display its name in the Selected list box.

    3. Click OK to add the selected devices, folders, and groups to the Devices list.

  7. Click OK, then click Apply.

If ZENworks Control Center shows that the uninstall fails, examine the device’s log file for more information.

Select the devices from which you want to remove the bundle. You can browse to and select a device that the bundle is not currently assigned to because the bundle may have been assigned to and installed on that device previously.

  1. In the Devices section, click Add.

    Because you are removing the bundle from devices, the Add Assignments dialog box opens with the Devices folder as the root folder. By default, the Servers and Workstations folders are displayed along with any custom folders that you have created in the Devices folder.

  2. Browse for and select the devices, device groups, and device folders from which you want to remove the bundle. To do so:

    1. Click next to a folder (for example, the Workstations folder or Servers folder) to navigate through the folders until you find the device, group, or folder you want to select.

      If you are looking for a specific item, such as a Workstation or a Workstation Group, you can use the Items of type list to limit the types of items that are displayed. Also, if you know the name of the item you are looking for, you can also use the Item name box to search for the item.
