If ZENworks Reporting Server is installed on a Primary Server, you must first uninstall the
ZENworks Reporting Server (see
Configuration Management Reporting Server Installation
software.
The embedded ZENworks database can only be removed by uninstalling the ZENworks software
from the Primary Server hosting the Management Zone. If you are using an external database, the
database remains intact after the uninstallation. To uninstall an external ZENworks database, see the
instructions provided by the database manufacturer.

7.1 Correct Order for Uninstalling ZENworks
Software
When uninstalling ZENworks software from selected components of your Management Zone (for
example, a Primary Server or a managed device), there is no specific order that you need to follow.
However, if you want to completely remove the ZENworks software from all components in your
Management Zone (effectively removing ZENworks from your environment), we recommend that
you uninstall the software in the reverse order that it was installed. This means that you would:
1. Uninstall the Adaptive Agent from each managed device.
2. Uninstall all Satellite devices.
3. Uninstall all Primary Servers other than your database Primary Server. Your database Primary
Server is the one that is hosting the embedded ZENworks database. Or, if you are using an
external ZENworks database, it is the first Primary Server that was installed.
If you don't uninstall all Primary Servers before your database Primary Server, those Primary
Servers become orphaned when you delete the database Primary Server and cannot be
uninstalled from ZENworks Control Center.
4. Uninstall the database Primary Server.
