Unregister a Child Server

Use CasTool.exe or the cascading structure Directory Manager to unregister a child server to a parent server.

• To Unregister a Child Server Using CasTool.exe:

1. Start CasTool.exe.

2. Execute one of the following:

• Normal Unregister Command:

• castool /u

• Force Unregister Command:

• castool /e

3. You can use the /d command to debug the process while CasTool unregisters a child server.
   
   When you uninstall Control Manager from a child server, the child server executes the "castool /u /d" so that it automatically unregisters itself from a parent server.

• To Unregister a Child Server Using the Cascading Manager:

1. Access the cascading structure tree.

2. On the leftmost menu, click Cascading Manager.

3. On the working area, select the child server you want to unregister and then click Delete.

4. Trend Micro recommends using the Cascading Manager Delete option only when the child server status is abnormal (). Be careful when using the Cascading Manager, you may accidentally unregister child servers that are not supposed to be unregistered.
