Uninstall EmpowerID

Data Preservation

The uninstall process removes EmpowerID application components from the server but does not remove the Identity Warehouse database. Ensure you have current backups of your database before proceeding if you need to preserve your EmpowerID data.

Prerequisites​

  • Administrative privileges on the server
  • PowerShell execution policy set to allow script execution

To check your current execution policy, run:

Get-ExecutionPolicy

If needed, temporarily set the execution policy to allow the script:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process

Uninstall EmpowerID​

  1. Navigate to the Install Setup folder within the TheDotNetFactory\Install Setup directory.

  2. Open a PowerShell prompt as Administrator.

  3. Execute the uninstall script:

    .\Uninstall-EmpowerID.ps1

  4. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation.

What gets removed​

The uninstall script removes the following EmpowerID components:

  • Application files and services
  • IIS application pools and websites
  • Windows services
  • Registry entries
  • Installation directories

The uninstall process does not remove:

  • SQL Server database (Identity Warehouse)
  • Custom modifications outside the installation directory
  • Backup files
