Hello Team,

We've on-premise setup of SAP Afaria which we want to decommission it, as we have setup a new MDM product.

Could someone help with the checklist for decommissioning or removing Afaria from our infrastructure

Any guide/steps will be helpfull.

Are you running iOS devices? First you will want to remove control from your devices, as this will pull iOS payloads, apps and controls from the devices. If you have Androids, are you using AFW or what type of policies? As outlined in the documentation here, you can remove Afaria and its components using the Control Panel in this order:

Afaria Server
Afaria API

Afaria Client Service

AfariaIPhoneServer
Afaria Backend Portal Package Server

Afaria Self Service Portal (on different server)

The Afaria database can be removed based on your company's policy. If Afaria is the only thing using the NDES role it can be removed
using the Windows Server manager.

How else can I help?

Yassar,

Just go into Windows, add or remove programs and just uninstall them there, in that order. You will want to stop managing your fleet of devices first, but the decommission on the server side is pretty straight forward.
