Uninstall order of VMware agents

Hello,

I am setting up a new App Volumes provisioning machine which I have cloned from my Golden Image.  Currently, the App volumes agent, UEM agent and Horizon View Agent are installed on the machine and I understand the Horizon View Agent can NOT be on the provisioning machine.  Before uninstalling that this is my question: do I need to uninstall the app Volumes and UEM agents FIRST BEFORE uninstalling the Horizon View Agent?  I know there is a specific order for INSTALLING them but wasn't certain whether that held true for UNINSTALLING.

Any help is appreciated!

I took a look at the document and must be missing something.  It appears to talk specifically about App Volumes Agent.  My question is in reference to the uninstallation of the Horizon Agent and whether that needs to be uninstalled AFTER the App Volumes agent and UEM agent is uninstalled.

Its never been specified, but I've always done the reverse of the recommended uninstall and have never seen any issues.For the provisioning machine its good to make sure the appvolumes agent is the very last thing installed, so while redudantts uninstalling the agents going from appvolumes>dem>horizon and then reinstalling the appvolumes agent ito me seems best.
