I would like to remove a JDS install, not only from the JSS using the GUI, but also the jamfds binary and associated files.

I would assume a sudo jamfds -removeFramework would exist, but this command failed.

Any ways of removing a JDS from a server?

also JDS nees to be added as a New Primary Application in the discussion Forums.

Hey all,

In addition to the KB article linked above ("Components Installed on JDS Instances"), I've also posted a KB article on uninstalling a JDS instance:

Hope this helps.

Hi Justin,
Yes, the commands to do this are a little different. Here you go:

Stop the JDS Launch Daemon:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jamfsoftware.jamfdspolicy.plist

Make a backup of the apache config file: /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_.conf

Copy the backup the JDS made into the sites directory:
sudo cp /Library/JDS/conf/.0000_any_443_.conf /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_.conf

Remove the JDS binary and associated files:
sudo rm /Library/JDS
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jamfsoftware.jamfdspolicy.plist
sudo rm /usr/sbin/jamfds

Hope this helps!

Are these commands the same under Ubuntu?

I don't see how they could be given some of the file locations are different, and for the most part, ubuntu distributions don't use launchd

it was more of a leading question hoping someone would chime in the file locations or commands needed for removal on linux.

JAMF posted this which seems to answer the question

There is an error in the KB for RHEL and Ubuntu in the removal:
Reads:
sudo rm /usr/local/jds
sudo rm /usr/local/sbin/jamfds

It should be:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/jds
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/sbin/jamfds

As these directories are not empty.
