Downgrading to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Using the Zip Distribution

Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1 zip distribution does not downgrade to the previous version. If you need to revert to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0, restore the backup copy that you saved before upgrading to Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.1.

To remove Directory Server Enterprise Edition completely, see Chapter 4, Uninstalling Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0.

Uninstalling Directory Service Control Center Installed Using the Zip Distribution

Uninstalling Directory Server Enterprise Edition does not uninstall Directory Service Control Center configured using the WAR file. If you need to uninstall DSCC, manually remove the WAR file from the application server instance.
