Uninstall a sensor from a domain controller

The following steps describe how to uninstall a sensor from a domain controller.

  2. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Add/ Remove Programs.
  3. Select the sensor installation, select Uninstall, and follow the instructions to remove the sensor.

Important

We recommend removing the sensor from the domain controller before demoting the domain controller.

Remove an orphaned sensor

This scenario can occur when a domain controller was deleted without first uninstalling the sensor, and the sensor still appears in the Microsoft Defender portal.

  1. In Microsoft Defender XDR, go to Settings and then Identities. Select Sensors on the left to display all your Defender for Identity sensors.

  2. Locate the orphaned sensor and select Delete (trash can icon).

  2. Locate the duplicate sensor. It will be the one whose status is set to Unknown. Then, at the end of the row, select Delete (trash can icon).
