Introduction

Unity is typically uninstalled from the server using the Uninstall Utility available at Cisco Unity Tools. However, even after you run the Uninstall utility on Cisco Unity, the Uninstalled server might still appear in the Server Chooser option in the Web Admin GUI of the other Unity server(s).

This can be due to the presence of the uninstalled server information on Active Directory (AD) and on the Cisco Unity database.
