Usage: RDACUninstUtil.exe v. 09.01.35.12 RDACUninstUtil removes RDAC registry entries. If a RDAC install or uninstall does not complete successfully, a blue screen might occur during the install/uninstall or on system reboot. Removing the RDAC registry entries should resolve this problem. If RDACUninstUtil.exe is run after a failed install, you may need to also rerun the RDAC uninstaller (accessed via Windows "Add or Remove Programs"), to prepare the system for the next install. RDACUninstUtil can be run before or after performing an uninstall using the "Add or Remove Programs" RDAC uninstaller. WARNING: For RDAC v8.4 uninstall, RDACUninstUtil must be run prior to the "Add or Remove Programs" RDAC uninstaller, to avoid accidental system reboot on the last screen of the RDAC uninstaller. In the situation where another system is experiencing blue screens on boot, either copy that system's SYSTEM Hive to a system with the same Windows OS or attach the failing system disk to a bootable system (again with the same Windows OS). Then, run RDACUninstUtil against the failing SYSTEM Hive. If you are not sure that a RDAC uninstall completed successfully on the local system, you can run RDACUninstUtil against the current local registry. To do this, do not enter a hive name on the command line. Command Line Syntax: At a command prompt enter > RDACUninstUtil [-l logname] [-f hivename] or > RDACUninstUtil [-l:logname] [-f:hivename] Options / Parameters: -l logname = the file path and name where you would like the RDACUninstUtil log saved. If this option is not entered, a log will not be written. The directory path and directory where the log is to be saved, must exist prior to running RDACUninstUtil. -f hivename = the file path and name of the SYSTEM Hive to be repaired. The SYSTEM Hive, in this case, is not the local system's hive but is a hive copied from a different system or located in an attached system disk. The location of a SYSTEM Hive can be found at: drive:(WINDOWS or WINNT)\system32\config\system. ex: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system C:\WINNT\system32\config\system If this option is not entered, the local system's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM key will be the target of the repair. Examples: RDACUninstUtil -l C:\regrepair.txt -f E:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system > The above command will repair the SYSTEM Hive located at E:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system and log status/errors to C:\regrepair.txt. RDACUninstUtil -f D:\Temp\badsystem > The above command will repair the SYSTEM Hive that was copied from a different system and renamed 'badsystem'. No status/errors will be logged. RDACUninstUtil -l A:\statusfile\repoutput.log > The above command will repair the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM key and log status/errors to A:\statusfile\repoutput.log. RDACUninstUtil > The above command will repair the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM key. No status/errors will be logged. Notes: - You MUST be logged on as local Administrator to run RDACUninstUtil. - If a Root-Boot system does not boot after repair, check the controllers preferred path status.
