Greetings,

I am working on a production SharePoint 2013 farm where the previous consultant installed a trial copy of Project Server 2013.  The client would like this completely removed.  Is there a way to do this?

I'm certainly not a Project Server guru so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Bob

Hello,

Project Server cant be removed as it updates the SharePoint farm and database schemas.

See "After you install Project Server 2013, it cannot be uninstalled from the farm. If you want to remove Project Server 2013 functionality, you can turn off the Project Application Service and delete the Project Server 2013 Service Application. " from:

Hi Paul,

One other related question.  Since Project Server 2013 cannot be completely removed, should I always apply CU's that include Project Server 2013?  I am getting ready to install the March 10, 2015 CU.

Thank you!

Hi Bob, as the Project Server binaries will still exist on the servers and Project Server referenced on the farm I would apply the Project Server "server" roll up packages that include all SharePoint and Project Server updates. Also that way if in the future it was decided to use Project Server it will already be patched to the correct level for the
