• stopping a cell
• changing the name of a cell
• changing or modifying a configuration
To remove or reconfigure a client (the client cannot be a Security server or a CDS server),
perform the following steps:
1. Bring up the DCE main menu (as described in “Using the DCE Configuration Tool”
earlier in this section).
2. Select the “4. UNCONFIGURE” option (this option can be executed from any system in
the cell). TheUNCONFIGURE option removes the target machine from the cell Security
database and the CDS namespace; therefore, do not use the UNCONFIGURE option on
a system that is used as a Security server or a CDS server.
NOTE DCE client daemons must be running on the system executing the UNCONFIGURE option.
If DCE daemons have been stopped, use the START option from the DCE Main Menu
to restart the daemons before using the UNCONFIGURE option.
3. The system prompts for the name of the client system to be unconfigured as shown in
Figure 3-16.
Figure 3-16 Unconfigured Node
NOTE If there were any errors unconfiguring the client system, then the client must be
unconfigured from another system in the cell.
4. The system prompts for a continuance as shown in Figure 3-17 (unconfiguring a node
removes its ability to operate in a cell), you must respond.
Figure 3-17 Continuance
The dce_config tool deletes the registry entries and CDS entries for the client, then
the following message as shown in Figure 3-18 is displayed:

5. The DCE Main Menu is displayed, select the “5. REMOVE” option on the client system.
The “5. REMOVE” option stops all running DCE daemons and removes all previous
configuration files on the local machine.
Enter hostname of node to be unconfigured: my_client
Do you wish to continue (y/n)? Y
A dce_config REMOVE will need to be performed from node
before reconfiguring it.
