SMS Uninstallation

You can perform a standard uninstallation or a silent uninstallation.

Standard Uninstallation

You can use SMS to uninstall CA DataMinder from a client machine. Simply remove the machine account from the CA DataMinder collection. To do this, you edit the membership rules; these are a property of the collection. SMS then immediately uninstalls CA DataMinder from the target machines. If a browser or email application is open on a target machine, the uninstall goes ahead but does not complete until the user closes the application.

Silent Uninstallation

If you want to uninstall CA DataMinder silently, you must specify the SMSQuietUninstall.mst transform in the program command line when you set up the installation package. This transform removes the need for user cooperation when uninstalling.
