Appendix B   Running the Uninstall Program


This appendix describes how to remove an existing instance of the Messaging Server from a machine.

---

Note

The uninstall program will not attempt to remove any log files, silent installation files, or mailboxes; if you want to remove these, you must do so manually. The uninstall program does not remove any high availability components. See Uninstalling High Availability for instructions on removing the high availability components.

---

In the directory in which you installed the Messaging Server files, you will find the uninstall program. To run uninstall, use the following steps:

1. Login as root.

2. Change to the server-root directory.
   

   ---

   Note	Do not manually stop the Directory Server; the uninstall program requires the Directory Server to be up and running and it will handle the shutting down of the Directory Server.

   ---

   
   

3. Run the uninstall program:

   ./uninstall

   Note	The screens you see here may vary depending on which components you have installed. This example assumes you have all components installed.

   Caution

   If you installed any high availability components, you must manually remove them (See Uninstalling Veritas Cluster Server and Sun Cluster 2.2). Although it is presented as an option, the automatic un-install of high availability components is not supported at this time; do not select this option.

9. Enter the login ID and password of the Configuration Administrator:

   Enter the User ID or Distinguished Name of the administrator who is authorized to access the Configuration Directory at

      ldap://budgie.siroe.com:389/

   Configuration Admin ID or DN: [admin]:

   At this point, the uninstall program should begin removing the various components you specified from your system.

Your uninstall is now complete.

In some cases, uninstall may not be able to remove some or all of your installation files. Please check for any remaining files and remove them manually. If you choose to re-install the same instance, you should check the msgregistry.inf file in the /etc directory to make sure it does not contain the old messaging server instance. If the file contains old server information, you should delete that information in the file, prior to re-installing another server instance.

Note	The uninstall script does not reinstate the original sendmail link. You must manually restore this link if you want receive mail on the server via sendmail.
