Removing Topology Manager with Web 8

April 15th, 2016 | Posted by Robert Curlette in TopologyManager | Web8

Sometimes when setting up Topology Manager you might want to rewind, undo everything, and start fresh.  After all, in version 8.1.1.1 the install is a combination of PowerShell scripts with various configuration options, authentication mechanisms, etc and it is likely to get something wrong, and you want to start all over.  If this is the case, I hope this article will help.  Below I have the output of my PowerShell console where I remove all the relevant Topology Manager pieces.  I also removed the Deployer and Discovery service, and at the end of the article I have those PowerShell scripts too, but from a separate window due to security rights.

The security rights for running and executing the Topology Manager powershell scripts can be confusing.  To run the below scripts, please go to the Windows Start screen in Windows Server 2012, search for PowerShell ISE, right click and select ‘Pin to Start’.  Then, right-click on it and select ‘Run as User’ and type in your own user params (assuming you are an Admin).  Also, your user account needs to be in the Windows Groups for Topology Manager (yes, these are new and yes it is important to be in these groups).  Now, you can run the scripts below.  To uninstall the Deployer and Discovery services, you need to run a new PowerShell window as Administrator.  Hope this helps!
