Decommission the old ESET PROTECT Server after migration to another server
Ensure your new ESET PROTECT Server is running and client computers are connecting to your new ESET PROTECT On-Prem correctly. |
There are two options when decommissioning your old ESET PROTECT Server after migration to another server:
I.Keep the server machine OS and reuse it
1.Stop the old ESET PROTECT Server service.
2.Delete (DROP DATABASE) the old ESET PROTECT Server database instance (Microsoft SQL or MySQL).
If you migrated the database to the new ESET PROTECT Server, ensure to delete the database on the old ESET PROTECT Server before uninstallation to prevent licenses from being dissociated (removed) from the new ESET PROTECT Server database. |
3.Uninstall the old ESET PROTECT On-Prem Server and all its components (including ESET Management Agent, Rogue Detection Sensor, etc.):
oUninstall ESET PROTECT On-Prem—Windows
oUninstall ESET PROTECT On-Prem—Linux
Do not uninstall your database if there is other software dependent on your database. |
4.Plan an operating system restart of your server after uninstallation.
II.Keep the server machine
The easiest way to remove ESET PROTECT On-Prem is to format the disk where it is installed.
This will erase everything on the disk, including the operating system. |
