  • 1.  Is there a command line to uninstall SEP 14 with uninstallation password?

    Posted Oct 15, 2019 10:33 AM

    Hello,

     

    I have Symantec EP ver 14 installed on more than 1500 clients, they are all managed via SEPM and an uninstallation password is set to prevent the users from uninstalling SEP on their machines.

    Is there a command (or a script) to uninstall Symantec using an attribute for the uninstallation password in that command or script?

     

    Thanks and regards,

    Jameel

    Hi Jameel,

    If you set a password for client uninstallation, you cannot uninstall the client silently. Clients with an uninstall password are prompted for the password, which must be entered manually. To uninstall the client silently, disable the password.

    once you disable the password you can use these

    Uninstall the Endpoint Protection client using the command prompt

    Hi,

    we are using Endpoint Protection Cloud and this uninstall string is not available in the registry. There ist no entry at all for Symantec under

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

    Any idea on how to uninstall the software other than by going to Programs&Features?

    What version of SEP 14 are you trying to remove?

    Hi Jameel,

    After disabling the password did you encounter any issues with client still prompting for the password to uninstall?

    Best,
