Uninstalling the Sales Center client using Tivoli Configuration Manager

Before you begin

  • Tivoli Management Framework and Configuration Manager are installed. Refer to your Tivoli documentation for details.
  • A Tivoli Endpoint agent is running on the client machine(s) and is successfully connecting with the Tivoli Configuration Manager.
