Removing the Kaspersky Security solution

Virtual machines and user data will no longer be protected if the Kaspersky Security solution is uninstalled.

The procedure to uninstall the Kaspersky Security solution from the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

1. Removing Protection Servers

   To remove the Protection Server component, remove the deployed SVM from the virtual infrastructure.

   If you completely uninstall the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to remove all SVMs. If necessary, you can remove only some of the SVMs.

   After removal of SVM, protected virtual machines that were connected to it, can connect to another SVM that operates in the virtual infrastructure.

2. Removing Light Agents and Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent

   You need to remove the following from virtual machines and virtual machine templates:

   • Light Agent (Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux or Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows installed in Light Agent mode)
   • Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent
3. Removing the Integration Server

   Depending on the version of Integration Server you were using, you need to remove the Windows-based Integration Server and Integration Server Console or the Linux-based Integration Server.

4. Removing Kaspersky Security management plug-ins

   You need to remove the management web plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is installed, or the management MMC plug-ins on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

After the Protection Server and Light Agent components are removed, the SVMs and virtual machines on which Light Agents were installed are still displayed in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. After the expiration of the period specified in the Kaspersky Security Center settings (see the Kaspersky Security Center help), information about the SVMs and virtual machines is automatically deleted. You can remove this information from Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console manually after uninstalling the solution.
