Before you uninstall eDirectory, you must understand your eDirectory tree structure and replica placements. For example, you should know whether you have more than one server in the tree.
(Conditional) If you have more than one server in your eDirectory tree, complete the following steps:
(Conditional) If the server where you installed eDirectory holds any master replicas, promote another server in the replica ring to be a master before you remove eDirectory.
For more information, see Managing Partitions and Replicas
in the NetIQ eDirectory Administration Guide.
(Conditional) If the tree on the server where you installed eDirectory holds the only copy of a partition, either merge this partition into the parent partition or add a replica of this partition to another server and make it the master replica holder.
For more information, see Managing Partitions and Replicas
in the NetIQ eDirectory Administration Guide.
Perform a health check on the eDirectory database. Fix any errors that occur before proceeding.
