Configuring SmartUninstall in Your System Center Configuration Manager Environment
App Portal 2021 R1
If you want to deploy the Smart Uninstaller client tool (AppPortal.SmartUinstall.exe) with distributed Windows Installer packages to enable automatic license reclamation (even if an uninstallation program was not defined in the deployment technology for that application), select the Smart Uninstaller is deployed for License Reclamation? option under My Apps Options on the Site Management > Settings > Flexera Integration page.
Note:This is a valid option for Windows Installer packages only. With respect to FlexNet Manager Suite integration, this option only works with On-Premises versions of FlexNet Manager Suite and is not available with the Cloud version of FlexNet Manager Suite.
In addition to selecting this option, you also need to configure SmartUninstall in your System Center Configuration Manager environment.
To configure SmartUninstall in your System Center Configuration Manager environment:
| 1. | Locate the AppPortal.SmartUninstall.exe file in the following directory: |
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\App Portal\Utilities
| 2. | Open System Center Configuration Manager and add the AppPortal.SmartUinstall.exe file as a package. |
| 3. | To that package, add a program with the following command-line. |
AppPortal.SmartUninstall.exe http://<AppPortalServer>/ESD/WS/Integration.asmx "Data Source=[FNMS_DBSERVER];Initial Catalog=[FNMS_DB_NAME];Integrated Security=True"
| 4. | Add scheduling options for the package as needed. |
| 5. | In your production environment, deploy this package to all machines and execute this EXE in the required intervals. |
Note:You can try to manually run this EXE, as an administrator, on a client machine to see how it works. It logs whatever is done on the client machine under %TEMP%AppPortal.SmartUninstall.log.
