Removing or Modifying MPF Components

There are multiple ways to remove or modify an installation of Microsoft® Provisioning Framework (MPF) or MPF SDK.

Before you start, verify that you have sufficient security permissions in Microsoft® Windows®. For a local installation, you must log on as a local administrator. For domain installations, log on as a domain administrator. If you must remove components from a domain but do not have domain administration permissions, see Domain Installations for Local Administrators. (In this context, "domain" refers to a Microsoft® Active Directory® or Microsoft® Windows NT® domain, not an Internet domain.)

Note Removing MPF does not remove MPF databases or user and group accounts. This preserves them in case they are used for other applications. For instructions on removing databases and accounts, see the troubleshooting instructions in the Readme.htm file, located in the Setup directory of the MPF CD.
