How to Remove Audit Collection Services (ACS)

 

Updated: May 13, 2016

Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager

Each component of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager Audit Collection Services (ACS) has a separate procedure for removing it.

The ACS collector is removed by using the Audit Collection Services Collector Setup wizard. When you remove the ACS collector, the ACS database is not deleted. You delete the ACS database from within Microsoft SQL Server.

To delete the ACS database you must be a member of the SQL Admins group or have the right to delete a database delegated to you. You must also have read access to the ACS database. As a best practice for security, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

Because service for the ACS forwarder is part of the Operations Manager agent, you can either disable service for the ACS forwarder and keep the Operations Manager agent or uninstall the agent from the computer. If you do not need to monitor the computer after it is removed from an ACS deployment, you should uninstall the Operations Manager agent. If you want to monitor other services or applications on the computer even though it is no longer acting as an ACS forwarder, you can disable service for the ACS forwarder.

To remove an ACS collector

  1. Insert the Operations Manager CD in the management server that you selected to be the ACS collector.

  2. On the root of the CD, double-click SetupOM.exe. In the Install section, click Audit collection services. The Audit Collection Services Collector Setup wizard starts.

  3. On the Welcome page click Next.

  4. On the ACS Collector Maintenance page, click Remove the ACS collector and then click Next.

  5. On the Summary page, the wizard lists the actions it performs to remove the ACS collector. Review the list and click Next.

  6. When the removal of the ACS collector is complete, click Finish.

To disable ACS forwarders

  1. Log on to the computer with an account that has the rights of the Operations Manager Administrator Operator role. This account must also have the rights of a local administrator on each ACS forwarder.
