/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.

    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!
