Introduction
This article describes how to remove the Windows Hosting Infrastructure (WHI) components, such as Active Directory (AD) and Windows Provisioning Engine (WPE), from your CloudBlue Commerce installation.
Important: You must remove the WHI components only after you remove the Hosted Exchange module, as described in this article.
Overview
WHI component removal is performed with removal tools and in general consists of the following steps:
- Remove the WHI components from service nodes.
- Remove the WHI components from the management node.
The WHI Component Removal Procedure
To remove the WHI components from your system, complete the steps below.
Step 1. Preparing the WHI Removal Tools
Obtain and prepare the WHI removal tools as described in this article. Then, go to the directory where the extracted contents are.
Step 2. Removing Components from Service Nodes
Remove all WHI components from service nodes by running the script as follows:
# ./clean-up-whi-module.py [--check-only] remove-packages-from-service-nodes
where:
--check-only is an optional parameter. If specified, the script performs all checks without making any changes.
Step 3. Unregistering Service Nodes
Unregister the following service nodes:
- Service nodes used for Microsoft Exchange
- Service nodes used for Active Directory
- Service nodes used for the Windows Provisioning Engine (WPE)
Step 4. Removing Components from the Management Node
Note: During this step, the pa-agent service on your management node and the pau services on your management node and UI servers will be restarted. We recommend that you perform this step outside business hours.
Remove all WHI components from the management node and the internal package repository by running the script as follows:
# ./clean-up-whi-module.py [--check-only] uninstall-module
where:
--check-only is an optional parameter. If specified, the script performs all checks without making any changes.
Outcome
All WHI components and their data are removed from your system.
