Force remove management profile from 10.7 client

Does anyone know how to remove profiles distributed from Profile Manager to a 10.7.3 client without using system preferences (profiles pane not accessible) or from the "mydevices" tool on the server. We had a test server go south on us (no backup) and were testing a small number of managed profiles on a few client machines.


Really more of an annoyance at this point.


Would a reinstall of 10.7 from the recovery partition do the trick?


Thank you for the help

Hey Trbl_Shooter,


You can use the command line tool profiles to remove all profiles on the client machine. Do this:


sudo profiles -D


It will as you if you want to remove all profiles, type 'y' and you're done.
