Uninstalling Storage Mirroring automatically

Like the Storage Mirroring installation program, you can automate the uninstall of Storage Mirroring and use the default
settings for any prompts. Before you can automate the uninstallation, you must identify the installation ID of the version you
have installed.

1.

Open the Windows registry and locate

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\

CurrentVersion\Uninstall

.

2.

Right-click on that registry folder and select

Find

.

3.

Search for the name

Storage Mirroring

. The search results should locate a registry entry called

DisplayName

with the

value

Storage Mirroring

.

4.

In that same registry key where you found the

Storage Mirroring

DisplayName

, locate the

ModifyPath

entry.

5.

Copy the value of the

ModifyPath

entry. For example, you might have the following

ModifyPath

value.

MsiExec.exe /X{5F728CBD-52DA-4B9F-AB20-172C5D025F8C}

6.

Once you have copied the value of the

ModifyPath

entry, run the following command using the copied text and

appending a space followed by

/qn

. For example, your command might be the following.

MsiExec.exe /X{5F728CBD-52DA-4B9F-AB20-172C5D025F8C} /qn

7.

After the uninstallation is complete, reboot the server.

If you have other servers that you want to automate the removal of Storage Mirroring from, you can reuse the same command
as long as the other servers have the same major and minor number (the first two numbers of the Storage Mirroring version,
for example 5.0) and the same hardware platform (32-bit or 64-bit).
