Hello, I have a question about Hyper-V integration services. I cannot figure out how to uninstall them in a Windows 2008 guest (it is easy in Windows Server 2003, its in Add/Remove Programs). However, it does not appear in the uninstall Programs list (via Control Panel). I have read online to simply run setup.exe /uninstall from the Integration Services setup files, but that isn't working either (referenced at: http://capitalhead.com/articles/uninstall-integration-services-from-hyper-v-windows-guest-virtual-machine.aspx). Does anyone know how to uninstall these services? (I have confirmed that the tools are indeed installed, all the features work and the services are listed in services.msc). Thanks!
It doesn't appear in the list of programs in later operating systems because it is part of the operating system.

This is just a guess. Go to Services and select the properties for the services you want removed. Disable them. Reboot your vm. See if that does what you want.

Hi,
I would like to know why you want to uninstall the Integration Services.

Anyone have any idea how I can remove the Hyper-V tools/features so I can get this box back to physical (I need to get rid of all the Hyper-V services that run)? Thanks!
Hi,
As John mentioned, the Integration Services is a part of the operating system, so you can’t remove it, and you don’t need to remove it, the files are there no matter your system installed on a physical computer or virtual machine.
By the way, I only heard of P2V, never V2P. You need to notice that the migration from virtual machine to physical may not work.

- Start the Hyper-V management console
- Start and Connect to your Virtual Machine
- Click on Action > Insert Integration Services Setup Disk
- Log onto your virtual machine and open the command prompt
- At the command prompt browse to the Integration Services Setup Disk(D:\ in most cases)
- At the command prompt browse to D:\support\amd64 or D:\support\x86 depending on the arch of the vm
- To Uninstall the Integration Services, just type in the command prompt >Setup.exe /uninstall
- Restart the VM to make sure that the uninstallation process worked

i also want to remove this tool because i want to use native boot from the windows 2008 r2 vhd. The vhd was started in hyper-V before so has the tool installed in it.
When i try native boot from vhd, it restarted automatically, seems that there was blue screen for a short period of time, less then 1 seconds. If i try native boot and F8 to boot with safe mode (or something that i don't remember), i found that it restart just after the CLASSPNP.SYS is loaded (or loading).
i found in this article http://chenyitai.blog.51cto.com/996951/340657 that i should use sysprep for the vhd or remove the hyper-v tool:
Hyper-vWindows 2008 R2 64(SysprepVHD——Hyperv)
sysprep did not solve my problem. and since the integration service seems not be able to be removed. My problem might have other reason.
I have windows 2008 r2 installed, and enabled hyper-v. On the hyper-v, i am running SharePoint 2010 information worker demo vm. it runs fine. However, after i configured native boot from VHD and restart, the blue screen appear and restart automatically.
My "outter" windows 2008 r2 boots fine;
The SharePoint 2010 information worker demo vm boots fine in hyper-v; It just does not work in native boot from VHD.
Turned out that my laptop cannot pass Windows extended memory test, stuck at 21%. It can pass standard memory test. I suspect the "cheap" memory i bought has something wrong.
I don't know if the memory issue has anything to do with the VHD native boot blue screen issue.
sorry for my questation . I want migrate vm w2008r2 from microsfto hyper-v to vmware ... How ? HOw I remove intgration servicies ??? I try run setup /uninstall but not afect . I try uncheck all check box in the setting VM , but not affect .. some solution ?
thanx
any solution
Same problem here, some VMs that used to run on Hyper-V are still showing the services. I'll do some more research first, but I think I'll see if I can't get rid of the services using the "sc" command line tool ("Service Control"). "sc delete <nameofservice>" ought to do the trick.
Microsoft are you listening?
I've recently run into an issue whereby my guest VM's simply ARP each other out of existence on the network - this was only happening on my latest 08-R2-Core+HyperV host and it's 08-R2-GUI guests, until I upgraded the integration services on some 08-GUI guests that were working fine on another 08-R2-GUI host - now for obvious reasons I have a need (or at least a want) to either uninstall and/ or revert. I've been working with MS Tech Support for 5 hours and they suggested I install KB2264080 (which unfortunately for me is already installed and has NOT resolved the issue). I'm using Dell Poweredge R610's with the Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
I just think that if it's not part of the OS (as in a window option) you should have a way of removing these services. Virtual environments are often used for testing, which typically involves multiple scenarios (one of which may include running with or without integration services). If not simply for this and the other reasons people have mentioned below a simple add/ remove entry or at least a working uninstall switch would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
A very very big thanks!
Removing the Hyper-v role from the guest solve my problem.
I solved the same issue as follows
on drive of the integration services i explorered E:\support\x86\ and double clicked Windows5.x-HyperVIntegrationServices-x86.msi and restart the VM machine.

Incorrect. You DO need to be able to remove them. Consider this.
- VM is running the latest version of integration services
- VM O/S dies
- You restore your server from a backup using HIR restore
- HIR restore matches your network card driver and installs an earlier network card driver (in my case 3.2)
- Network card fails to start when you boot VM
There is no possible way to install the latest network card driver because Integration Services says it is up to date, but it is not up to date, it has version 3.2 of the network card drivers installed, not version 5. Uninstalling the network card and reinstalling does not fix the problem.
There is no solution except to reinstall Windows.
Hey all,
Trying to upgrade the virtual machine from Server 2008R2 to Windows 2012 R2 - usually you are suppose to uninstall the integration services on Hyper-V for windows 2003 upgrades, is this not the case with Server 2012R2 ?
That's how I got to this thread... and attempting the above simply re-installs the integration services. I've run the /uninstall command directly from an admin command line from the Hyper-V console and no luck. I also checked the Roles on the guests OS and
found no mention of Hyper-V. Only Role listed was DNS, and nothing under "Features" as well.
