puppet node purge $hostnameWithoutFQDN
scp /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet-enterprise-uninstaller root@yourclient.domain.com:/root/

# On node:
rm -rf /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl
rm -rf /etc/puppetlabs/mcollective/ssl/clients
/root/puppet-enterprise-uninstaller
    • For Windows: Do the server part except transferring the uninstaller then on the node just use add/remove programs to uninstall.
