Unattended Uninstallation In Windows; Deleting Acronis Secure Zone - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER SBS EDITION - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual

5.2 Unattended uninstallation in Windows

To uninstall a component or feature of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in the unattended mode, you
need to run the msiexec utility. This utility uses the corresponding installation package (an .msi file).
When you uninstall a component that uses a license, Acronis License Server will revoke the license,
provided that the license server is available.
To uninstall a component or feature
1. Extract the corresponding installation package to a folder or a network share.
2. Run the following command (here, the installation package is assumed to be
AcronisAgentWindows.msi, saved in the \\myserver\share network share):
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /qb
Uninstalling an agent
When you uninstall Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows, we recommend first
uninstalling its features and then the agent itself.
For example, if the agent is installed with the Tray Monitor and Universal Restore features, run
uninstallation commands in the following order:
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisTrayMonitor.msi /qb
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisUniversalRestore.msi /qb
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisAgentWindows.msi /qb
Uninstalling the license server
If you need to uninstall the Acronis License Server, you should do so after uninstalling all agents that
use it. Also keep in mind that the license server may be used by other Acronis products.
To uninstall the license server, run the following command (change the path if needed):
msiexec /uninstall \\myserver\share\AcronisLicenseServer.msi /qb

5.3 Deleting Acronis Secure Zone

Uninstallation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 does not affect Acronis Secure Zone and its contents.
You will still be able to recover data from Acronis Secure Zone on booting from bootable media.
If you need to delete Acronis Secure Zone, perform the following steps in the operating system
(before the agent uninstallation) or under bootable media.
To delete Acronis Secure Zone:
1. In the Acronis Secure Zone Actions bar (on the Actions and tools pane), select Delete.
2. In the Delete Acronis Secure Zone window, select volumes to which you want to add the space
freed from the zone and then click OK.
If you select several volumes, the space will be distributed proportionally to each partition. If you
do not select any volume, the freed space becomes unallocated.
After you click OK, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will start deleting the zone.
