PRB: Uninstalling Application Center 2000 Causes Invalid Network Configuration (279162)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Application Center 2000
This article was previously published under Q279162

SYMPTOMS

When you uninstall Application Center 2000 on a system that is a member of an Application Center 2000 cluster, the system may have an invalid network configuration.

CAUSE

When you remove a member from a cluster, you need the Application Center 2000 remove member processing to restore a cluster member to a valid state. Uninstall does not attempt to determine cluster membership or execute the remove member procedures. As a result, some settings, including IP addresses, are not restored to their pre-cluster membership states.

RESOLUTION

If possible, remove an Application Center 2000 server from its cluster before you uninstall Application Center 2000.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

If you attempt to uninstall Application Center 2000 on a cluster member by using the Application Center 2000 interactive uninstall, you receive a warning that you should remove the member from the cluster before proceeding. Silent uninstalls, including uninstalling through Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, does not issue a warning.
