How to remotely & silently uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client

1. You will need to download the Microsoft PsTools.

2. You will also need to get your product code for your product version. This can be found under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

And will look similar to: {C1B0BDC8-0624-4036-90D1-F7DF0EE8C96D}

3. Now you will need to type the following command line against the target workstation:

psexec \\WORKSTATION msiexec.exe /q/x {PRODUCT CODE}

If the command fails, run the command from one of the following locations, depending on your version of Windows:

Windows 2000
psexec \\WORKSTATION [drive]:\winnet\system32\msiexec.exe /q/x {PRODUCT CODE}

Windows 2003/XP
psexec \\WORKSTATION [drive]:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /q/x {PRODUCT CODE}
