Manual Uninstallation of Desktop Authority Administrative Service from a Domain Controller -
설명
The article describes the steps to manually uninstall "Desktop Authority Administrative Service" and "Desktop Authority Update Service" from a domain controller. -
원인
As highlighted in this Quest Support Article, if an administrator does not properly uninstall the "Desktop Authority Administrative Server" and "Desktop Authority Update Service" before removing the DA console, this can result in what are termed 'ghost' Domain Controllers. -
해결 방안
-
Log onto the domain controller.
-
Open
services.msc. -
Locate the "Desktop Authority Administrative Server" and "Desktop Authority Update Service".
-
Right-click on each service and select 'Stop' to halt their operation.
-
Open an administrative Command Prompt.
-
Run the following commands to delete the services:
sc delete Desktop Authority Administrative Service sc delete Desktop Authority Update Service
Important Considerations:
While the above steps provide a manual method of uninstallation, executing them on sensitive systems like a domain controller might not always be advisable, especially if there are potential database remnants. As a precaution, our support team strongly recommends installing the DA console on a development server. Add the servers you intend to work on to this environment, and then proceed to remove the services from there. This ensures a safer and more controlled environment for service removal. -
