    start /wait "%programfiles%\Altiris\Altiris Agent\AeXAgentUtil.exe" /Clean
    rmdir /s /q "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent"

    In Agent Plug-ins there is a default Filter for uninstalling SMP agent. Clone it and change the target to the servers filter excluding site servers.

    You may create new script task (Manage -> Jobs and Tasks. Right click to any node in left page, select New -> Task. Scroll down to the tree, select "Run Script") and add these two lines into it. Then you need to run this task on desired computers.

    But as already mentioned uninstall could be done by enabling corresponding SMA policy - it is much more convenient.

    Thank you,

    i actually created an exe to do this... but still you could use a batch file.. that is easy too..

     

    so simple. .take your batch file, set it up in Altiris software catalog and deploy it as a software delivery task.
    What I found is that the /clean switch doesnt get rid of it all.. so I do the /clean then I do the 

    msiexec /X{Guid} /qn

    for each item.. that definitely gets rid of it all.. if you want further help on that let me know.
