Preview a patch uninstallation

The uninstallation preview process provides an up-to-date report about the patch state of servers. The uninstallation preview is an optional step that lets you see what patches will be removed from managed servers. This preview process verifies whether the servers you selected for the patch uninstallation have that patch installed.

The uninstallation preview process does not report or simulate the behavior of a system with patches removed from the server.

To preview a patch uninstallation:

  1. In the Uninstall Patch window, click Next to advance to the Summary Review step.
  2. Verify the information displayed for the Servers, Server Groups, and Patches at the top of the window.
  3. (Optional) Click Preview to see the separate actions that will be performed when the patch is uninstalled. To view the details of a previewed action, select a row in the table.
  4. Click Start Jobto launch the job or click Cancel to close the Uninstall Patch window without launching the uninstallation.

    If you selected Run Task Immediately in the Scheduling step, the job begins now. If you selected Run Task At, the job will be launched at the specified time and date.
