Sophos Central uninstallcli.exe quiet mode

mh3000

Hello, 

 

I'm trying to uninstall the Sophos Central Agent in some computers. In this oportunity I want to use the unisntallcli.exe file located in c:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint Agent\

 

The question is: how can I achieve this in quiet mode?

 

According to this kb: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/127045 you can use windows command line argument "--quiet" during SophosSetup.exe installation.

 

Is there something similar to this I can use in a script with the uninstallcli.exe file?

    Hello DianneY,

     

    Thanks for your assistance.

    As the article you refered me says, I executed the command:
    REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s /f SOPHOS
    In order to gather the uninstall strings.

    So I created the following batch file, according to the uninstall strings that the previous results provided me:
    net stop "SAVService"
    net stop "Sophos AutoUpdate Service"
    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{2C14E1A2-C4EB-466E-8374-81286D723D3A} REBOOT=ReallySuppress
    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{8078549C-CFF0-48C5-9B77-6BA48A14673D} REBOOT=ReallySuppress
    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{80D18B7B-8DF1-4BCA-901F-BEC86BAE2774} REBOOT=ReallySuppress
    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{BEEB46C0-1983-4DF2-AD40-8C464842DF24} REBOOT=ReallySuppress
    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{EB2A2F1B-6662-444E-8983-AB9B6E9DF6A6} REBOOT=ReallySuppress

     

    Since there is one uninstall string per component, I supose those provided in my script are not enought. But still, I cant find the other components strings.

     

    Also, the script suggested in the article https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/122126 uses the "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint Agent\uninstallcli.exe" command, wich is enough for uninstall the hole program, but I can't find a way to execute it in silent mode in order to use it in a GPO Script.

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Regards.

    Hello  

    You can use all of the strings in the article to ensure that it should work regardless of what the endpoint has. The msi uninstall strings should just open a command prompt but there is no user interaction needed.

    Maybe you can look into answer files (.iss) to see if this concept helps?
