In this article
DNSFilter account user with admin permissions or higher use this article to uninstall the Windows Roaming Client v1.15.3 and older on individual devices or remotely via RMM/MDM tools.
Uninstall agent version 2.0.1 or higher
The Windows Roaming Client can be uninstalled directly from the DNSFilter dashboard beginning with version 2.0.1 of the agent. See the v2.0.1+ guide for instruction.
✍️ Deleting the agent older than v2.0.1 from the DNSFilter dashboard does not uninstall the Roaming Client.
Uninstall Windows Roaming Client
Remove the Roaming Client via the Add/Remove programs control panel unless the silent installation with the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 option is specified, hiding the agent in the installed programs list.
A PowerShell uninstallation can also be called:
-
$Prod = Get-WMIObject -Classname Win32_Product | Where-Object Name -Match 'DNSFilter Agent' $Prod.UnInstall()
-
$Prod = Get-WMIObject -Classname Win32_Product | Where-Object Name -Match 'DNS Agent' $Prod.UnInstall()
If the above PowerShell script does not successfully uninstall the agent, this custom script has worked for some users. It looks for both the standard and whitelabel agent, and also goes through the Registry Editor to remove related keys and interface items related to the Roaming Client.
If none of these uninstall methods remove the agent, submit a Support request including diagnostic logs for review.
Remote uninstall using RMM/MDM tool
Just like installing the Roaming Client, admins can uninstall the Roaming Client remotely with an RMM/MDM tool using the above commands. However, DNSFilter does not endorse or validate third-party software.
Recommendations for third-party support
