Cannot completely uninstall Zabbix Agent.

[mmorgan]

I'm attempting to uninstall the old Zabbix Agent and install Zabbix Agent 2 on a Windows 10 workstation. I've run into an extremely bizarre situation that I hope someone may have seen before and know how to fix. I have uninstalled the old agent, but the service did not completely uninstall. The folders are gone, the service is not listed in the registry, sc queryex "Zabbix Proxy" says that the service does not exist. However, the service is still listed in services and what's really crazy is that I can start and stop it. What is going on and how can I fix it? Thanks.

Zabbix Agent is not installed:




SC QUERYEX "Zabbix Agent"



The service is not in the registry.





But, its still in services and you can start and stop it...



even though the directory does not exist.

Execute in a CMD

sc delete "Zabbix Agent"

and reboot the computer

Thank you for the reply. However, the problem turned out to be me. Someone had used my computer to check the services on a remote computer and I didn't notice it. So, when I was restarting the service, it was on a remote machine instead of my workstation. Once I realized what was going on, I pointed the services mmc back to my machine and the Zabbix agent was not there. I then installed the new Zabbix agent and everything worked fine. Thanks again.
