Uninstall Policy Engines

Important! If a policy engine is installed on the same computer as a CA Data Protection server agent (Exchange, Domino, or Enterprise Vault), you must uninstall the server agent before uninstalling the policy engine.

1. First, you must unregister the policy engine on the hub. To do this, edit the ActivePolicyEngines and StandbyPolicyEngines registry values on the hub host server.
2. Stop the CA Data Protection Policy Engine service. Either use the Services applet or run the following command from a command line:

   net stop wgnpesv
   

3. Use Add/Remove Programs to manually uninstall a policy engine. This applet is part of the Control Panel. When the wizard starts, go to the Program Maintenance screen and choose Modify to uninstall the policy engine.

   Note: If you choose Remove in the Program Maintenance screen, this removes all CA Data Protection components, not just the policy engine.
