About removing a software role
If you remove a role from a device that is part of a deployment group, SiteConfig can remove
Install/Planned deployment tasks if that device no longer contains any roles that are specified in the
managed package. Removing a role from a device does not uninstall software that no longer fulfills
the set of roles that belong to a device. That means that an Install/Complete task does not transition
to Uninstall/Planned if a role is removed.
Removing a software role from a device
1. In the Software Deployment | Devices tree view, expand a device’s node to expose the roles
currently assigned to the device.
2. Right-click the role you want to remove and select Remove .
The role is removed from the device in the tree view.

Checking all currently installed software on devices
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:

• SiteConfig is able to log in to the device using the username/password credentials assigned to
the device.
• The SiteConfig PC does not have a network drive mapped to an administrative share (such as
C$) on a device on which you are checking software.
• If the SiteConfig Network Configuration Kit and/or Discovery Agent at version lower than
1.1.0.185 is currently installed, it must be manually uninstalled and updated. For more information
refer to SiteConfig Migration Instructions.
• If Aurora product software at a version lower than 6.5.2 is currently installed, it must be manually

1. In the Software Deployment | Deployment Groups tree view, right-click the top-most node for the
group or any individual device and select Check Software .
NOTE: If you have access problems, verify that the adminstrator account on the device has
credentials as currently configured in SiteConfig.
The Check Software dialog box appears. SiteConfig searches for software on the selected device
or devices and gathers information. Progress is reported.
2. When the check is complete, close the Check Software dialog box.
An updated list of all currently installed software is displayed in the Software Deployment | Devices
| Installed Software list view. If software is a SiteConfig managed software package, information is
displayed in the Managed Package and Deployment Group columns.
