Description

The uninstall-node-dcom subcommand uninstalls \{product---name} software from the hosts that are specified as the operand of the subcommand. This subcommand requires the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol to be configured on the host where the subcommand is run and on each host where the \{product---name} software is being uninstalled.

Note	To uninstall \{product---name} software on hosts that use secure shell (SSH), use the `uninstall-node-ssh`(1) subcommand.

By default, if any node except the predefined node localhost-`domain resides on any host from which \{product---name} software is being uninstalled, the subcommand fails. To uninstall the \{product---name} software from a host on which user-defined nodes reside, set the `--force option to true. If the --force option is true, the subcommand removes the entire content of the parent of the base installation directory.

If a file under the parent of the base installation directory is open, the subcommand fails.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following items must be the same on all hosts:

Parent of the base installation directory for the \{product---name} software
Windows user
Windows domain

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the domain administration server (DAS).

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

--installdir

The absolute path to the parent of the base installation directory where the \{product---name} software is installed on each host, for example, C:\glassfish3.
The user that is running this subcommand must have write access to the specified directory. Otherwise, an error occurs.
The specified directory must contain the installation of the \{product---name} software on the host. Otherwise, an error occurs.
The default is the parent of the base installation directory of the \{product---name} software on the host where this subcommand is run.

--windowsuser

-w

The user on this node’s host that is to run the process for connecting to the host through DCOM. The default is the user that is running the DAS process.

--windowsdomain

-d

The name of the Windows domain that contains the user that the --windowsuser option specifies. The default is the name of the host on which the subcommand is run.

--force

Specifies whether the subcommand uninstalls the \{product---name} software from a host even if a user-defined node resides on the host. Possible values are as follows:

false: If a user-defined node resides on a host, the software is not uninstalled and the subcommand fails (default).
If the --force option is false, the subcommand removes only the \{product---name} software files. Other content if the parent of the base installation directory, such as configuration files, are not removed.
true: The subcommand uninstalls the \{product---name} software from the host even if a user-defined node resides on the host.
If the --force option is true, the subcommand removes the entire content of the parent of the base installation directory.

Operands

host-list: A space-separated list of the names of the hosts from which the \{product---name} software is to be uninstalled.
