Platform killer is an unsupported tool. Most people believe the tool is supported
because it was so widely used, even recommended (out of necessity) by support
people. The
necessity has been eliminated in System Platform 2012. Now, platforms remove much
cleaner. There is a supported reliable
method for removing a platform. It is
done though the system management console. Here are the steps.
2.) Navigate to Galaxy name – In the left pane, find
platform manager and expand it. Click on
the name of your galaxy.
3.) Remove Platform – Right click on the name of
your plant then select remove platform from the context menu. This removes the platform from the local
computer and only the local computer, no other platforms will be removed. Your screen will look like the screenshot
below at this step.
Please remember to use this supported method. Platform Killer shouldn’t be used for System
Platform 2012 and above. Platform Killer
can create problems requiring a system to be reformatted on 2012 and
above. Even for versions before 2012 it
is better to try the supported method first then try Platform Killer.
This not true for System Platform 2012. Perhaps you meant System Platform 2012R2.
ReplyDeleteHey Chuck. I've had a couple tech cases with 2012 (not R2) where we ended up having to reformat because of a leftover fragment on the system. I've also had tech cases where Platform Killer has been the solution. My suggestion though is to use SMC to remove platform first, then try Platform Killer.
