Uninstalling a Linux Satellite or Managed Device

You can perform the following types of uninstallation on a Linux Satellite and Linux managed device:

 Section 6.4.1, “Zone-Level Uninstallation,” on page 73

 Section 6.4.2, “Local Uninstallation,” on page 75

6.4.1

Zone-Level Uninstallation

Before uninstalling the ZENworks software from a Linux Satellite, if you demote the device to

managed device, you must run the uninstallation program only after the Satellite roles

(Authentication, Imaging, Content, and Collection) are removed from the device. In the zone-level

uninstallation, you demote the Linux Satellite and remove the Satellite roles assigned to it.

Subsequently, you can remove the device from the Management Zone and uninstall the ZENworks

Adaptive Agent from it.
