Summary
This article covers how to remove "Deployment Manager" evidence from a device during or after uninstallation of an application.
Discussion
The Deployment Manager agent when installing a package will keep a copy of the package in the agent cache, this evidence can also be used as installer evidence for the purposes of Application Recognition. During uninstallation if this evidence is not correctly removed then it may remain on the device and the application might be recognized as still being installed
If - when you added the package to policy - you specified to automatically uninstall it when no longer in policy the evidence should be removed without further action. If you didn't choose that option you will need to follow the workaround process below.
Workaround
-
Open your reporting page (Click on "Reporting" in the admin console)
-
Under the Distribution section click on "All" next to "Packages"
-
Find the package and make a note of the package name.
-
Edit you package and go to Run Commands > All Run Commands
-
Add a new Run Command
-
The command should be executed "After the application is uninstalled" or "Before the application is uninstalled" as applicable (most choose After).
-
The run command is ndlaunch.exe -d "<tpackage_name>" where <package_name> is the name you found in step 3.
-
The commands starting location is \Program Files\ManageSoft\Launcher
