Centralized removal of application components

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks components can be removed centrally by using the application components centralized installation script. This script lets you remove application components from individual nodes of the Server or sensors or fully uninstall the current version of the application as well as previous versions (beginning with version 2.0).

For removal of components, the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh uses the centralized installation settings file that was saved on the computer. If the centralized installation settings file on this computer is corrupt or missing from its original folder, the application installation script searches for a copy of the file on the computer and on other computers that have application components installed.

To centrally remove application components from individual nodes:

1. Run the application components centralized installation script by completing steps 1–4 of the installation procedure.
2. In the menu for selecting the installation option, select Edit settings of current installation.

   The main centralized installation menu appears on the screen.

3. Depending on the necessary result, perform the following actions:
   • Use the Remove Server menu item to remove a Server node.

     After removing the Server node, you need to add a different Server node to ensure proper performance of the application.

   • Use the Remove sensor menu item to remove a sensor node (if multiple sensors have been added to the application, select the relevant node in the list of nodes that have added sensors).
4. When finished configuring the settings, select Save settings and start installation.
5. In the SSH password and BECOME password prompts, enter the password for the user account that is performing the centralized removal of application components.

Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

To completely uninstall the application:

1. Run the application components centralized installation script by completing steps 1–4 of the installation procedure.
2. In the menu for selecting the installation option, select Edit settings of current installation.

   The main centralized installation menu appears on the screen.

3. Use the Remove Server menu item to remove a Server node.
4. If sensors have been added to the application, use the Remove sensor menu item to sequentially remove all nodes of sensors.
5. Use the Removal settings menu item to configure advanced settings for centralized removal. When this item is selected, the following prompts are displayed:
   • Remove the application together with data. If you want to delete all data saved by the application in the system, enter y. If you do not need to remove the data, enter n.
   • Remove Network Agent. If you want to remove the Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent component, enter y. If you do not need to remove this component, enter n. This prompt is displayed if an installed Network Agent is detected.
6. Select Save settings and start installation.
7. In the SSH password and BECOME password prompts, enter the password of the user account performing the centralized removal.

Wait for completion of the script kics4net-deploy-<application version number>.bundle.sh.

Removal of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks does not automatically delete the additional files from the distribution kit that were manually copied to the computer (such as the package containing descriptions of specifications for the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks API). If necessary, these files can be manually deleted.
