    Posted Nov 20, 2016 06:06 PM

    Hello all!

    I am simply using SEPPrep to remove SEP 12.1 . I can't seem to get sepprep.exe to run, it appears to abort as soon as it realises SEP is installed. Below is the copy of the resulting error log, and below tht is a copy of my sepprep.ini / Assistance would be very appreciated.

    log:

    Do you have an uninstall password configured?

    Unfortunately no. I just uninstalled SEP manually from Programs and Features on another computer on the same network, and was not prompted for a password.

    use wmic

    wmic /node:"@c:\list.txt" product where "name like '%symantec endpoint protection%'" call uninstall

     

    where list.txt contains all the machine names , one name per line

    Hello BSTG,

    That error will occur if you do not run the correct  executable for your OS.  i.e SepPrep.exe on a 64-bit machine instead of sepprep64.exe, will produce the same Log.

    NOTE: SepPrep.exe = 32.bit OS, SepPrep64.exe for 64-bit OS.

    Thanks,

    Jon
