Complete uninstall of the JSS

hey all,

How can I uninstall JSS 8.4 from my Snow Leopard Server completely with no trace it ever lived there?
I want to repurpose a very useful Mac server and don't want to go through the whole reinstallation process, since the machine has many sharepoints, configs, users, etc.

thanks,

-pat

Chris, I think he means the JSS, not the jamf (client) framework.

Pat, you'll want to remove mysql (or at least the jamf database), and delete /Library/JSS. I think that'll just about do it - unless you want to also remove any certificates you created (apart from the built-in) or disable any file shares you set up for distribution.

a few commands

sudo rm -r /Applications/Self Service.app
sudo rm -r /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
sudo /usr/sbin/jamf -removeFramework

Though, technically only the "sudo jamf -removeFramework" is necessary.

Chris,

Does -removeFramework work on a JSS also to remove all the bits?

Whoops... quite correct. Sorry, too much coffee this morning ;-)

Hiya,

Yes, I meant the JSS off the Server and not the client.

I'll give what JPD a try!

thanks,
