To uninstall the agent from the Essentials console

  1. In the Essentials console, click the Administration button.

  2. In the Administration pane, expand Administration, expand Device Management, and then click Agent Managed.

  3. In the Agent Managed pane, select the computers for which you want to uninstall the agent, right-click them, and then select Uninstall.

  4. In the Uninstall Agents dialog box, either leave Use selected Management Server Action Account selected or do the following:

    1. Select Other user account.

    2. Type the User name and Password, and type or select the Domain from the list. Select This is a local computer account, not a domain account if the account is a local computer account.

      Important
      The account must have administrative rights on the computer or the uninstall will fail.
    3. Click Uninstall.

  5. In the Agent Management Task Status dialog box, the Status for each selected computer changes from Queued to Success.

    Note
    If the task fails for a computer, click the computer, and you can read the reason for the failure in the Task Output text box.

  6. Click Close.
