Removing the Virtual Network Data Server Installation (Complete Uninstall)

Perform this procedure ONLY if you need to completely remove everything installed or generated by

Virtual Network Data Server.

Step 1 Stop services and exit the Control Panel.

Windows Service manager to stop the License Server.

Step 3 Use Windows Task Manager to stop any running processes owned by Virtual Network Data Server su ch

as javaw, java, op_monitor, or op_license_server.

Step 4 Run the uninstaller for the release you wish to remove.

Continue with the following steps to remove remnants of the installation.

Step 5 Delete the install directory. The default install directory is:

C:\Cisco\CiscoNPS1.0\VNEServer\3.0.1_<build_number>

Step 6 Delete the Java Jre directory (if it remains). This directory is located under the parent install directory.

installed to the same parent directory, skip this step. Otherwise, you'll remove the Jre used by a
