How to uninstall Opsi client agent

Hello,
We are currently using Opsi to deploy operating systems, we're not using it to install applications or manage OS's.
What's the best way to uninstall the Opsi client agent in Windows?
Should we run the uninstaller script in c:\program files (x86)\opsi.org\uninst, or remove it from Programs and Features, etc.?

No difference.
The uninstall string used by deinstall.cmd and from within Programs and Features are the same.
You can find the latter in HKLM\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\opsi-client-agent.
So it's up to you.
As with every uninstaller there will be remnants. You might check c:\program files (x86)\opsi.org and c:\opsi.org.

In version 4.1, I'm finding that if I rename
50_opsi-client-agent.cmd
to
50_opsi-client-agent.txt
every script higher than 50 does not run, including necessary cleanup scripts. This worked fine in version 4.0.

Looks like a bug to me.
What netboot product in what version are you currently using?
Does updating - if update available - the netboot product help?
Kind regards

I'm using:
Opsi version: 4.1.1.65
Netboot product: win10-x64, Windows 10 x64, Version 4.1.0.1-1 .
All the scripts run correctly until I rename:
Code: Alles auswählen
/var/lib/depot/opsi-client-agent/files/opsi/postinst.d/50_opsi-client-agent.cmd
to
/var/lib//depot/opsi-client-agent/files/opsi/postinst.d/50_opsi-client-agent.txt

Properly most of the older
scripts have been really
Batches
For instance the new
need a working opsi-winst / opsi-script.
So for me this change in behaviour is more a feature than a bug.
Coming back to your Question

you can run
a) opsi-client-agent = uninstall
via opsi
or
b) have a deeper look in the postinst.d mechanism described in the getting started to get what you need (perhaps working only with opsi-script/opsi-winst without installing opsi-client-agent)

Neither removing the agent in Add Remove Programs or running the uninst script works, the Opsi agent still appears at bootup anyways.
I uninstalled via Opsi, and that does appear to have removed it cleanly.
We already deployed a computer with opsi-agent to a user that's not connected to our LAN. I disabled both Opsi Windows services, and now the opsi agent no longer launches at bootup.
