/uninstall or /remove command line switch

Earlier versions of DA had a command line switch you could run (as admin) to remove the DA client, then on next restart GPO would re-install it. This was very handy for troubleshooting... it doesn't seem to exist anymore and Support referred me to a Spiceworks thread from which I was able to build a script to run against machines that needed  DA removed and reinstalled, but slagent /uninstall would be a HECK of a lot easier when troubleshooting.

    Can I use the same method on Mac?

    The /uninstall or /remove command line switch is used to initiate the removal of software or applications from a system directly through the command prompt or terminal. This method is efficient for advanced users who prefer manual control over the uninstallation process. For example, if you’re managing gaming tools like Null's Brawl or other modded applications, using command line switches can help cleanly remove unwanted files. Always ensure you follow proper instructions and use trusted sources to avoid system errors or leftover files, maintaining a smooth and organized setup for both software and gaming experiences.

    The slagent /uninstall command line switch, previously available in older DirectAccess (DA) versions, was indeed a convenient tool for removing the DA client, allowing a GPO-based reinstall after a restart. Unfortunately, this feature seems to be deprecated. While building a script as outlined in the referenced Spiceworks thread is an effective workaround, it can be more time-intensive compared to a straightforward switch. For troubleshooting, you might ask a Yes No wheel to guide you: "Should I stick with scripting?" or "Is it worth contacting support for further options?"—let the wheel decide your next move!

    The /uninstall or /remove command line switch is typically used in software management to delete or remove installed applications or packages from a system. This switch can be invoked through a command line interface (CLI) or terminal, providing users all in one dental implants with a streamlined method to uninstall software without needing to access the graphical user interface (GUI). It’s particularly useful for batch processing or automated scripts where multiple programs need to be uninstalled quickly. The process usually includes removing all associated files and configurations, but it’s essential to understand the scope of this switch, as some applications may leave residual data that requires manual deletion.
