Uninstalling NetIQ eDirectory 109
Add Features to the Automated Uninstallation
Most details for configuring the eDirectory Uninstaller have default setting for the manual
uninstallation. However, during unattended uninstallation, each configuration parameter must be
explicitly configured. This section discusses the basic settings to be unconfigured.
eDirectory Server Details
The details of the server being uninstalled must be provided to the Uninstaller. Most of this
information is configured in three tags,
[Novell:NDSforNT:1.0.0], [Initialization] , and
[Selected Nodes] .
Take all the values mentioned in
[Initialization] and [Selected Nodes] in remove.rsp as it
they are.
[Novell:NDSforNT:1.0.0]
Tree Name: The name of the tree from which the server will be uninstalled.
Admin Login Name: The name (RDN) of the Administrator object in the tree that has full rights, at
least to the context to which this server is added. All operations in the tree will be performed as this
user.
Admin Context: Any user added to a tree has a user object that contains all the user-specific details.
This parameter is the container object in the tree to which the Administrator object will be added. For
primary server installations, this container will be created with the server object.
Admin Password: The password for the Administrator object created in the previous parameters.
This password will be configured to the Administrator object during primary server installations. For
secondary server installations, this needs to be the password of the Administrator object in the
primary server that has rights to the context to which the new server is added.
NDS Location: The eDirectory install location in the local system where the libraries and binaries are
copied. By default, eDirectory is installed into
C:\Novell\NDS unless it is changed in the response
file.
DataDir: Until eDirectory version 8.8, the DIB was installed inside the NDS location as a subfolder.
Later, administrators were given the option to provide a different DIB location, because there might
be too much data stored in the DIB to fit into the NDS location. Currently, by default the DIB is
installed in the
Files subfolder inside the NDS location, but administrators can change this
parameter and provide a different location
mode: The type of setup on eDirectory. The three types of setup are:
 deconfigure: Performs the deconfiguration of eDirectory.
 uninstall: Performs uninstallation of eDirectory.
 full: Performs both deconfiguration and uninstallation of eDirectory.
NOTE: If you opt for the full setup mode during unattended install, then while uninstalling
eDirectory you cannot opt for individual deconfiguration and uninstallation option.
ConfigurationMode: If the setup mentioned in the mode key is deconfigure, then ensure that you do
not change the
RestrictNodeRemove value of the ConfigurationMode key
Prompt: The type of the uninstallation mode should be mentioned in this variable. It will be set by
default to 'silent' for unattended uninstallation. If any value other than 'silent' is set then it will do
normal uninstallation
