Hi Jim,

Usually the opends uninstall easily uninstall and remove the directory server from the system, but for windows platforms, at times the uninstaller gets failed to remove files as in your case.

You have an option of removing it with the help of windows-service.bat. what you have to do is –

Type the service name which you want to remove for example :- C:> windows-service –cleanupService serviceName then restart the windows to complete the cleanup.

As my personal experience, I have seen that "Orbit Uninstaller" is the prefect software for uninstalling any type of software. In fact, you can see that some applications like OpenDS creates major problems. At the same time, windows faces bad effects. So, I like to suggest you use "Orbit Uninstaller" so that you can easily remove backdated software with cleaning registry without any hassle. Best of luck!
