11.1 Uninstalling eDirectory on Windows
Use the Windows Control Panel to remove eDirectory, ConsoleOne, SLP DA, and NICI from
Windows servers.
IMPORTANT: Removing eDirectory also removes the roll-forward log directory and all the logs in it.
If you want to be able to use the logs for restoring eDirectory on this server in the future, before
removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information
about roll-forward logs, see “Using Roll-Forward Logs” in the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration
Guide.
