Hello.
I'm running some tests with ASR integrated with vmware environment.
My configuration server and process server are at 5.1.7295.0 version and the agent installed in my vm ubuntu 16.04 - Kernel-4.4.0-210 is the Microsoft-ASR_UA_9.48.0.0_UBUNTU-16.04-64_GA_10Apr2022_Release.tar.gz
We are performing tests on OLR (Original Location Recovery) mode and when we re-protect our linux vm that is running on azure, the vm returns with the service walinuxagent installed, although, everthing is alright, I know this service is installed by azure to run many programs in its environment.
But, when the vm return for our environment on-prem it keeps generating errors on the screen, because we don't use dhcp and other things.
I'm trying to uninstall this program walinuxagent using this commands below, that I found on the web:
- systemctl stop walinuxagent # Or service walinuxagent stop
- waagent -deprovision -force
- rm -rf /var/lib/waagent
- reboot
But whenever I restart the vm, it's back with the program UP and Running again.
See the images:
Anyone have this problem also ?

2022-06-08T19:12:09.333+00:00 @Jackson Martins one last doubt, is it possible the problem to be in the ASR application ?
I say this, because in the moment of the return (failback) the application ASR shoulded uninstall the service walinuxagent or not ?

2022-06-08T19:31:45.017+00:00 there is no official information about this process, but replicating it in my environment kept the installation, the service needed for migration in some cases is the mobility service, waalinuxagent is used when the machine is already migrated and you can install it manually later, so the best way I see to get around this is to manually remove via script.
Or you can open a ticket with the engineering team for them to configure and stop pushing the install.

2022-06-09T12:49:54.173+00:00 Hi @EA
I did the test in a similar environment, I disabled the service:
systemctl list-unit-files | grep agent
walinuxagent.service enabledsystemctl stop walinuxagent
systemctl disable walinuxagentafter that i blocked it in the firewall/proxy access to url:
https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/
and then after restarting walinux it stopped - I recommend stopping here and leaving the agent stopped.
If you don`t have a proxy, you can put github on resolv.conf to resolve 127.0.0.1.So, I removed all the packet
