How to Remove Roles from Your Server

In Windows Server 2008, you can remove roles from your server by using the Remove Roles Wizard. You can start the Remove Roles Wizard from either the Initial Configuration Tasks window or from within Server Manager.

The Remove Roles Wizard

The Remove Roles Wizard simplifies the process of removing roles from your server, and allows you to remove multiple roles at one time. You no longer need to open Add or Remove Windows Components multiple times to remove more than one role, role service, or feature installed on your server. A single session in the Remove Roles Wizard can complete the configuration of your server.

Before removing any roles, the Remove Roles Wizard verifies that no software components required by any of the remaining roles are removed accidentally. If necessary, the wizard prompts you to approve the removal of other roles, role services, or software programs that are required by roles that remain installed. The risk of removing software upon which other roles depend is virtually eliminated.

To start the Remove Roles Wizard

  • In the Roles Summary area of the Server Manager main window, click Remove Roles.

Note

Server Manager opens by default when a member of the Administrators group logs on to the computer.
Server Manager also opens when the Initial Configuration Tasks window is closed. You can also open Server Manager by using shortcuts on the Start menu or in Administrative Tools.
