Scripted Uninstall of Sophos

Looking for a scripted uninstall of Sophos.  We have over 2000 endpoints at 420+ remote locations which are mainly POS systems running XP or Windows 7.  We can't take control of these systems to manually uninstall Sophos if problems arise (and they have).  I've talked to Sophos support about this and they don't have an uninstall script for Sophos 10.0 from what I've been told.  

I've found all the MSIEXEC uninstall strings within the registry but running those remotely via PsExec does not work, not sure why.

I find it interesting that as good as Sophos is of uninstalling ever other major AV/EPP product on the market to install their product on an end-point, they offer no means (other than touch each endpoint manually) to uninstall their own product.

If anyone has any information that would help us, that would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

  • Having spoken to Sophos support recently and had some significant problems getting Sophos to completely uninstall to allow a fresh installation to occur I have found out that the previous remsav-all.bat file is no longer recommended. Apparently, if removal via Add/Remove programs doesn't work then Sophos development want to know about it because, I am told, this should work in all cases.
