How to remove Integration services from a Windows 7 or W2008-VM ?

Question

I would like to remove all the integration services from several VMs running Windows 7 and W2008.

For a XP-VM this went without any problems, as there was was entry in installed programs, so I could remove the Hyper-V services.

But in W7 and W2008 there is no option to uninstall them under installed programs.

I found a posting that I should start the setup program with the option /uninstall.

 

But this does not work !! The setup process only says that the integration services have been installed before and will repaired od upgraded.

setup.exe /? shows also only  2 options "quiet" and something else, but no "uninstall"

Hallo,

sieht man mal von der falschen Sprache ab (in deutschen Foren wird in Deutsch gepostet), bist Du auch im falschen Forum. Die richtige Anlaufstelle für deine Frage wäre hier:

Hi,

you should ask this question in an english technet forum where it is on topic. You wrote inside the german speaking forum covering Microsoft trainings and certifications.

Maybe you want to check out this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/c3007a9a-a6aa-406a-b259-af11ca171be6/ which is inside the Hyper-V forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/threads - If I understood the thread correctly, the integration services are part of the operating system and cannot be removed.

With kind regards,

Konrad

Hallo Konrad,

da der Poster NicoNi ansonsten immer in Deutsch postet, ist der Verweis auf das deutsche TechNet Forum besser.
