→Uninstalling the Hyper-V Role
== Uninstalling the Hyper-V Role ==
If, at any point in the future the Hyper-V role is no longer required on the server, it may be removed either from the command prompt or via the Server Manager tool. It is important to note that removal of the Hyper-V server role does not remove any virtual machines that have been configured on the server. If the virtual machines are no longer required, they should be manually deleted using the ''Hyper-V Manager'' tool prior to uninstalling Hyper-V.
To uninstall Hyper-V from a command prompt (administrator privileges are required), use the ''servermanagercmd'' as follows:
<pre>
Success: A restart is required to complete the removal.
</pre>
To perform the removal using Server Manager, select ''Roles'' from the left hand panel of the Server Manager interface and click on ''Remove Roles'' to invoke the ''Remove Roles Wizard''. Delect the ''Hyper-V'' option from the list of server roles and click ''Next''. Review the information on the ''Confirmation'' screen and click ''Remove'' to perform in the removal. It is typically necessary to restart the system to complete the Hyper-V removal process.
