4 Removing the Password Synchronization Module

To remove an installed and configured instance of the password synchronization module:

  1. Delete the module-related registry keys by performing the following steps:

    1. Run regedit.exe. This file is usually located in the Microsoft Windows registry

    2. Navigate to the following key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | System | CurrentControlSet | Control | Lsa
      
    3. Double-click the Notification Packages key.

    4. In the Edit Binary Value dialog box, delete adsync from the list of values, and then click OK.

      For example, suppose the original data string displayed in the Data column on the right pane of the Registry Editor application window is as follows:

      FPNWCLNT RASSFM KDCSVC scecli adsync
      

      After you delete adsync from the list of values, the data string would appear as follows:

      FPNWCLNT RASSFM KDCSVC scecli
      
    5. Navigate to the following key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\adsync
      
    6. Delete this key along with all of its properties.

  2. Delete the Adsync.dll file from the Windows\system32 directory.

  3. If you have installed the connector on a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system, then delete the Adsync.dll file from the Windows\SysWOW64 directory.

  4. Delete the ADSYNC_HOME directory.

  5. Restart the computer.
