=== Description

The `uninstall-node-dcom` subcommand uninstalls {productName}
software from the hosts that are specified as the operand of the
subcommand. This subcommand requires the Distributed Component Object
Model (DCOM) remote protocol to be configured on the host where the
subcommand is run and on each host where the {productName} software
is being uninstalled.

[NOTE]
====
To uninstall {productName} software on hosts that use secure shell
(SSH), use the
link:uninstall-node-ssh.html#uninstall-node-ssh-1[`uninstall-node-ssh`(1)]
subcommand.
====

By default, if any node except the predefined node ``localhost-``domain
resides on any host from which {productName} software is being
uninstalled, the subcommand fails. To uninstall the {productName}
software from a host on which user-defined nodes reside, set the
`--force` option to `true`. If the `--force` option is `true`, the
subcommand removes the entire content of the parent of the base
installation directory.

If a file under the parent of the base installation directory is open,
the subcommand fails.

If multiple hosts are specified, the configuration of the following
items must be the same on all hosts:

* Parent of the base installation directory for the {productName} software
* Windows user
* Windows domain

The subcommand does not modify the configuration of the domain
administration server (DAS).

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

  The absolute path to the parent of the base installation directory
  where the {productName} software is installed on each host, for
  example, `C:\glassfish7`. +
  The user that is running this subcommand must have write access to the
  specified directory. Otherwise, an error occurs. +
  The specified directory must contain the installation of the

  The default is the parent of the base installation directory of the
  {productName} software on the host where this subcommand is run.
`--windowsuser`::
`-w`::

  to the host through DCOM. The default is the user that is running the
  DAS process.

`--force`::
  Specifies whether the subcommand uninstalls the {productName}
  software from a host even if a user-defined node resides on the host.
  Possible values are as follows:

  `false`;;
    If a user-defined node resides on a host, the software is not
    uninstalled and the subcommand fails (default). +
    If the `--force` option is `false`, the subcommand removes only the
    {productName} software files. Other content if the parent of the
    base installation directory, such as configuration files, are not removed.
  `true`;;
    The subcommand uninstalls the {productName} software from the
    host even if a user-defined node resides on the host.

+
If the `--force` option is `true`, the subcommand removes the entire
    content of the parent of the base installation directory.
