How to uninstall SCSM Web Portal from the server where SCSM Management Server is installed

I ended up installing SCSM and Web Portal on the same server and the Web Portal broke. This is the documented procedure to uninstall broken Web Portal from a server.
Disclaimer: These are the steps I have performed and successfully uninstalled web portal and re-installed. I am not sure whether all the steps are mandatory and required. Probably only step 4 may be required.

Before you read any further, Microsoft supported method of uninstalling Web Portal from the same server where the SCSM management server is installed is a complete uninstall of the SCSM product.
This can be accomplished using two methods:

1) run setup.exe /uninstall - If this does not work then,
2) rum msiexec /x \\...<folder where SCSM install media is kept>\ServiceManager\amd64\Setup\Server\sm.msi
  1.   Open Regedit
    a. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
    b. Search for "Service Manager Portal"
    c. Delete All references

2. Next go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\System Center\2010\Service Manager\setup and delete all references to Portal

3. Next go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\223333EF9E9130B42B84BD23D7699AA2\Features and delete SMPortal


4. Open SQL management Studio and delete/rename the Sharepoint_SMPortalContent database


5. Last but not the least, rename <Drive where IIS is installed>\inetpub\wwwroot and rename the System Center Service Manager Portal to – Service Manager - Old


 6. Once you initiate the Setup.exe, you can select Web Portal and it will work just fine.

  1. Hi Sandeep,

    I followed all the steps you mentioned. During the re-installation it said ports were not available.
    So, I also deleted the websites manually from IIS 7.0 .
    Next,
    1. Created New Domain certificate.
    2. I was not able to locate the Database as SQL was installed by SharePoint Foundation. (We have SQL installed on another machine for SM)
    So, In this machine, I could not find the management Studio. So, I re-installed SharePoint Foundation.

    After all these, when I tried to install the Self Service Portal, The installation failed.

    After this,
    I tried with different
    1. Ports
    2. Certificates
    3. Without SSL
    4. Different Admin accounts,
    But I still get the same error

    Am I missing anything?
    Your help will be highly appreciated!

    Regards,
    Gayathri

    1. Hi Gayathri,

      I suggest try removing SCSM and re-installing it. The reason I say this is because it has been some time since you posted the question and I believe you need an immediate fix. refer :

  2. I have another question:
    How can we uninstall SCSM Web Portal by slient mode?

    "..\Setup.exe /Silent /Uninstall:Portal"
    However, this command will uninstall Serivce manager portal but it uninstall my whole Service Manager & Portal as well.

    1. That is correct. This command will uninstall the whole SCSM. It is only handy if you have installed the web portal on a separate server.

      You may want to refer to the entire article for ensuring it is uninstalled successfully.

    msiexec /i d.\amd64\Setup\Server\SM.msi REMOVE=SMPortal,SMPortalSharePointSite
