Remove Old vCenter Plugins

vCenter

You un-install an application that does not un-register the plugin in vCenter.  There is no option in the desktop client to remove.

Ex. vSphere Auto-Deploy 5.5 located in a different windows server and can not talk to the VC at the time (error 29452)

error 29452
  1. Find the name of your app on http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1025360
    Ex. Auto Deploy is named com.vmware.rbd
  2. Go to http://vc55.lab.com/mob/?moid=ExtensionManager
    (replacing vc55.lab.com with the FQDN of your vCenter)
    Search for com.vmware.rbd
  3. Click on UnregisterExtension
  4. Paste in com.vmware.rbd for the value.  Click Invoke Method.
