Problem:
How do I uninstall ProfileUnity client?
Resolution:
Step 1. If ProfileUnity client is installed on the base image or installed locally on a physical machine:
For ProfileUnity 6.5 and later:
Option A. Automatic Uninstall: (Batch script attached)
From an elevated command prompt, run the following command or edit the GPO and replace computer startup script with this line:
\\server\netlogon\profileunity\LwL.ProfileUnity.Client.Startup.exe /uninstall
Note: This command requires admin rights to run as it will remove system files and services.
Option B. Manual Uninstall
Manual uninstall AFTER the Programs/Features uninstall fails:
1. In cmd prompt:
sc stop lwlelevation
sc stop lwlprofile
sc stop lwlcontainerservice
sc stop lwluserapp
sc stop cbreg
sc delete lwlelevation
sc delete lwlprofile
sc delete lwlcontainerservice
sc delete lwluserapp
sc delete cbreg
sc delete cbfltfs4
sc delete cbfsfilter2017 for ProfileUnity 6.8.3 and above
2. Delete C:\Program Files\ProfileUnity folder
3. Open regedit:
1. Delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Liquidware Labs"
2. Edit "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\userinit" and change "C:\Program Files\ProfileUnity\userinit.exe" to "C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe"
3. Delete "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\lwl_prof_info"
4. Delete "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\LwlCredMgr"
5. Remove "LwlCredMgr" from the list in "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\ProviderOrder"
4. Go back into Programs and Features and uninstall the ProfileUnity client again (it will prompt to remove from list)
5. Reboot machine (make sure you've deleted the Startup portion of the GPO so it doesn't get reinstalled)
For ProfileUnity 5.5 and earlier:
Run uninstall.vbs from netlogon\profileunity folder.
If this does not work, open an elevated command prompt and use this command:
c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe \\server\netlogon\uninstall.vbs
Step 2. Delete the ProfileUnity Group Policy in Group Policy Management Console, or remove its assignment to the computers and users OUs.
Step 3. Remove users from "ProfileUnity" security group so the ProfileUnity client will not execute during user logon.
Step 4. Delete the ProfileUnity folder (by default this will be on a domain controller in the NETLOGON\ProfileUnity share).
Step 5. Restart all machines in the desktop pool or all physical machines that previously had ProfileUnity installed.
Step 6. Delete all portability files (if existent) from the user's shares.
