Manually Uninstalling the Agent from a Linux Server¶
Remotely log in to the Linux server where the agent is to be uninstalled.
You can log in to the ECS management console and click Remote Login in the ECS list.
If your server has an EIP bound, you can also use a remote management tool, such as Xftp, SecureFX, WinSCP, PuTTY, or Xshell, to log in to the server and install the agent on the server as user root.
If the agent has been installed, run the following command to uninstall it:
Note
Do not run the uninstallation command in the /usr/local/hostguard/ directory. You can run the uninstallation command in any other directory.
For EulerOS, CentOS, and Red Hat, or other OSs that support RPM installation, run the rpm -e hostguard; command.
For Ubuntu, Debian, and other OSs that support DEB installation, run the dpkg -P hostguard; command.
Verify the uninstallation. If the /usr/local/hostguard/ directory is not found on the Linux server, the agent has been uninstalled.
Manually Uninstalling the Agent from a Windows Server¶
Remotely log in to the Windows server where the agent is to be uninstalled.
You can log in to the ECS management console and click Remote Login in the ECS list.
If an EIP has been bound to the server, you can use Windows Remote Desktop Connection or a third-party remote management tool, such as mstsc or RDP, to log in to the server and install the agent on the server as an administrator.
Go to C:\Program File\HostGuard on the Windows server.
Double-click the unins000.exe file to uninstall the agent.
In the HostGuard Uninstall dialog box, click Yes to delete HostGuard and all its components.
(Optional) Restart the server.
If you have enabled WTP, you need to restart the server after uninstalling the agent. In the HostGuard Uninstall dialog box, click Yes to restart the server.
If you have not enabled WTP, you do not need to restart the server. In the HostGuard Uninstall dialog box, click No to skip server restart.
If the C:\Program Files\HostGuard directory does not exist on the Windows server, the agent has been uninstalled.
