Silently Remove an IIS Agent

The SiteMinder Agent supports an unattended mode that uninstalls the agent. This option does not require any interaction from the end user.

1. Log in to your web server.
2. Open a Command Prompt window with Administrative privileges.

   Important! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command-line window with administrator permissions. Open the command-line window this way, even if your account has administrator privileges.

3. Run the configuration wizard to remove the configuration settings of the agents that you want to remove.
4. Run the following command:

   web_agent_home\install_config_info\ca-wa-uninstall\uninstall.exe -f installvariables.properties -i silent
   

   Note: If the path contains spaces, surround it with quotes.

   web_agent_home

   Indicates the directory where the SiteMinder Agent is installed on your web server.

   Default (Windows 32-bit installations of SiteMinder IIS Web Agents only): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent

   Default (Windows 64-bit installations [SiteMinder Web Agents for IIS only]): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent\win64

   Default (Windows 32-bit applications operating on 64-bit systems [Wow64 with SiteMinder Web Agents for IIS only]): C:\Program Files (x86)\webagent\win32

   The agent is removed from the web server.

5. For IIS server farms, repeat Steps 1 though 3 for each web server in your farm.
