It's a shame you can't wait because there's always a risk in putting
the eggs in the one basket, but yes, you will be ok as long as there
isn't too high a load on the server. Do it only if you're sure that
the server is very underutilised at the moment.

The uninstall process is clean and won't leave muck all over the DC.
