Remove the Client Software using the Windows Command Prompt
You can use the Windows command prompt to remove the client software without having to follow the challenge-response protocol. First, you need to configure an uninstall code.
In the Trellix ePO or Trellix ePO Cloud interface, enable removal of the client software and configure the uninstall code.
- From the main menu, navigate to the Policy Catalog, where you can select and edit the policy.
- On the Client Configuration page, in the Access Protection section, select Request Release key for manual uninstall, then configure the Uninstall Code.
- Save the policy, then deploy it to the endpoints.
- On a computer running Windows: In the Windows search field, type regedit to find and open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the folder containing the uninstall command: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Network Associates\ePolicy Orchestrator\Application Plugins\SCPAGENT1000
- To view and copy the command, right-click Uninstall Command, then select Modify. Example uninstall command: msiexec /x{B7C9C37A-5A41-415F-8A2A-41B377E18A9B} REBOOT=ReallySuppress /q /L*V C:\Windows\Temp\SkyhighLogs\SCPUninstall.log
- Open an Administrator Command Prompt, then paste the command at the prompt.
- On the same line, type UNINSTALLCODE="<install_code>" using the code that you configured, then click Enter. Format: <uninstall_command> UNINSTALLCODE="<uninstall_code>"
The client software is removed from the Windows-based computer.
