DNSFilter account admins use this article to enable uninstall notifications and uninstall the Windows Roaming Client on individual devices or remotely by using a RMM/MDM tool. 

✍️ Deleting the agent from the DNSFilter dashboard does not uninstall the Roaming Client. 

Enable Roaming Client uninstall notifications

Be alerted when users uninstall the Roaming Client, gaining visibility into unexpected uninstalls. 

Follow these steps to enable uninstall notifications.

1. From the DNSFilter dashboard, navigate to Deployments and select Roaming Clients
2. Tab to Settings
3. Toggle on Enable Uninstall Notifications

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 command-line uninstallation can also be called using an administrative command prompt or GPO:

• wmic product where "name='DNSFilter Agent'" call uninstall

• wmic product where "name='DNS Agent'" call uninstall

Remote uninstall using RMM/MDM tool

Just like installing the Roaming Client, admins can use a RMM/MDM tool to remotely uninstall the Roaming Client. This is useful while off-boarding an employee or resetting a device for a new employee: leveraging the RMM/MDM automates the uninstall as part of a regular process.

Using the same uninstall commands above, select the device and issue the command for the device to run.
