    /MySametimePackages/STMeetings/responseFiles

  4. Customize the uninstallation rsp file with the settings appropriate for your specific installation.
    • Sametime System Console: ISCuninstall.rsp
    • Sametime Meeting Server: IMSuninstall.rsp
    • Sametime Proxy Server: IPuninstall.rsp
  5. Specify this parameter when uninstalling any of the Sametime servers listed in this procedure.
    • Change the acceptLicense='true', <agent-input temporary='true' clean='true' acceptLicense='false'>
    • Make sure the offering profile value is same as the value in install response files(ISC_i.rsp,IMS_ssc_i.rsp,IP_ssc_i.rsp),

      <offering profile='IBM Sametime Server Platform' features='CEMain,ssc,nossc' id='com.ibm.lotus.sametime.proxyserver'/>
