    Easy, check this:

    See this thread:

    Make sure to put it in Client mode first. This ensures you have full control over settings once made unmanaged, otherwise if you don't they will be greyed out

    What does this mean?

    Make sure to put it in Client mode first

     

    I seriously hate the fact that they took away the ability to control the services.

    It keeps going back to managed.

    To prevent the client from switching back to managed, ensure that the sylink.bak file on the SEP client is deleted.

    Go to the Client page

    Policies tab

    Under Location specific policies and settings click on Location specific settings

    Next to Client user interface control settings click on Tasks >> Edit Settings

    Click the radio button for Client control

    This is what you need to do

    Ok, now since I do not have the ability to stop/start services anymore, how do I drop the sylink on a REMOTE PC?

    Sylink Replacer

    Or send it to the user and have them import it
