    setup has detected that one or more of the Identity Management for UNIX components are installed. To upgrade your server, uninstall these components. For more information about uninstalling these components, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=518378.

    Still unable to upgrade my Win server 2012 r2 DC because of this issue, i cant find the cause.

    I was able to upgrade the 2nd DC fine its just this 1st DC i cant upgrade to 2016 RTM.

    Can anyone help as i was hoping to raise my domain functionality level but until i upgrade my remaining DC i cant.

    I dont have any roles or features installed that are in any articles about IDMU.

    What could be causing this?

    Please help.

    thanks

    JK

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post.

    Since you haven't installed this component, you could try to install it first and then remove it to have a test.

    Install Identity Management for UNIX Components

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731178(v=ws.11).aspx

    Remove Identity Management for UNIX Components

    I've got the same issues, but mine is on a Terminal Server. Going to investigate now and will follow up if I find anything good.

    I avoided the issue by altering the file "compliance.ini", adding a semicolon to the line which includes the IDMUUpgradeComplianceCheck. Let's see what happens after the upgrade completes... I'll follow up soon! 

    I have no idea which component is being flagged wrong by this check though. Microsoft...?

    For those that care. I tried Daniel Sarfati's suggestion above. It seemed to upgrade with no issue.

    Just had the same problem during my upgrade.

    I was able to solve it by removing the deprecated feature "RSAT-NIS" using Powershell:

    # Run as Administrator.

Remove-WindowsFeature RSAT-NIS

    I had the same problem -- I'd removed the compnonents per the KB, but setup still complained about them.  Following Daniel's suggestion removing RSAT-NIS resolved the issue completely.  Thanks, Daniel!

    Microsoft: Suggest updating your article to include the RSAT tool as well.

    Thanks!

    I had attempted:

    • Dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:adminui
    • Dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:nis
    • Dism.exe /online /disable-feature /featurename:psync

    Rebooted but no luck.

    My server 2016 upgrade from 2012R2 only continued after I ran:

    Remove-WindowsFeature RSAT-NIS

    (PS indicated the feature was "depreciated" as well)

    Thanks again!

    In my case, this was the registry key causing IDMUUpgradeComplianceCheck to fail:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9A899A50-F96B-11D2-AC78-0008C7726CF7}

    After deleting this key, IDMUUpgradeComplianceCheck passed, and setup continued.

    Thank you Daniel.

    The stupid article that they reference in the error message tells you how to Disable the thing but not how to actually remove it.  This did the trick. 

    Old enough to know better, young enough to try anyway

    Lovely.  An installer issue from 2017 that microsoft still hasn't fixed.  Kudos to you Daniel, this one is still broken in server 2019.  Sigh.  Pull it together MSFT.

    If its worth doing, its worth doing right. Just try getting the CFO to pay for that though...

    Worked for me in Server 2019.  Had tried everything from MS article.  Was going to bypass the actual check (Edit sources\compliance.ini: Remove or comment the line which contains "IDMUUpgradeComplianceCheck") but tried this first.  Thanks Daniel
