Deinstall an HTTPS agent manually

You can deinstall an HTTPS agent by removing the Operations-agent package from node in the console. However, you can also deinstall the agent manually if necessary.

To deinstall an HTTPS agent manually

  1. Log in to the node as a user with administrative rights.
  2. Open a command prompt and use ovc to stop the agent as follows:

  3. Use opc_inst to start the deinstallation as follows:

  4. Optional. Check the following log file for deinstallation errors:
  5. Optional. The management server does not receive notification when you deinstall the agent manually. Therefore, if the node still exists on the management server, the package and policy inventory is incorrect.

    You can delete the node from the management server using the Configure Managed Nodes dialog. Alternatively, to clear the inventory, you can force the management server to remove the agent package in the Uninstall package from... dialog.

Note NOTE:
The HTTPS agent includes several components, which appear in Add or Remove Programs on nodes that run a Windows operating system. Dependencies between these components make it difficult to remove the components using Add or Remove Programs. HP recommends that you remove the HTTPS agent using opc_inst.vbs, as the above procedure describes.
