Use the nds-uninstall utility to uninstall eDirectory components from Linux computers. This utility uninstalls eDirectory from the local host. You must deconfigure eDirectory server before running nds-uninstall. Run ndsconfig rm -a <admin FDN> to remove the eDirectory server. This utility is available at /opt/novell/eDirectory/sbin/nds-uninstall.
Note that you must not run ndsconfig rm on an OES server.
IMPORTANT:Removing eDirectory also removes the roll-forward log directory and all the logs in it. If you want to be able to use the logs for restoring eDirectory on this server in the future, before removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information about roll-forward logs, see Using Roll-Forward Logs
in the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide.
