Hello everyone.
We have a problem with installing sophos from one of our secondary domain controllers (i know its not called PDC anymore but heck).
We are running a Windows 2008 R2 and need to uninstall sophos.
We can uninstall remote management and autoupdate. But if we uninstall sophos we get the 'Error 3005.Sophos Anti-Virus can only be uninstalled by users that are members of the SophosAdministrator users group.'
Because it is a domain controller it does not have the traditional 'Local Users and Groups', we do have a 'SophosAdministrator' group placed in our Domain Users - OrganisationUnit, and the admin account used for the removal is added there.
We did used the 'Authenticate user' function and disabled the 'Tamper protection'.
We still get the 'Error 3005' msg.:catsurprised:
We need to uninstall because sophos is sucking up 2gig of memory, we like to try a fresh installation after we deleted a couple of windows updates.
