How to Uninstall a Management Pack
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Service Manager
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
You can uninstall a management pack or management pack bundle with the basic procedures described here.
When you uninstall management packs, any external files such as form binaries and workflow binaries are not uninstalled. You must manually remove these components.
If other management packs are referencing the management pack you want to uninstall, the uninstall will fail. To identify which management packs may be blocking the uninstall, use the GetDependentManagementPacks method from the ManagementPacks property on the management group object.
To uninstall a management pack
- Use an instance of the EnterpriseManagementGroup to call the UninstallManagementPack method. Pass in the identity of management pack you want to uninstall.
To load and uninstall a management pack bundle
Create a new instance of the EnterpriseManagementGroup class to connect to a management server.
Get an instance of the ManagementPackBundleReader class by calling the CreateBundleReader method.
Call the Read method. Supply the file name of the bundle, and an instance of the EnterpriseManagementGroup class. This will return you an instance of the ManagementPackBundle class.
Use your existing EnterpriseManagementGroup instance to call the UninstallBundle method. Pass in the bundle you want to uninstall.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to load and uninstall a management pack bundle.
EnterpriseManagementGroup mg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("localhost");
ManagementPackBundle bundle;
ManagementPackBundleReader bundleReader = ManagementPackBundleFactory.CreateBundleReader();
string bundleFile = @".\RePackaging.Library.mpb";
bundle = bundleReader.Read(bundleFile, mg);
mg.ManagementPacks.UninstallBundle(bundle);
The following example demonstrates how to uninstall a management pack object after you have a reference to it.
managementGroup.ManagementPacks.UninstallManagementPack(managementPack);
