  • For any MSI removal: MSIEXEC uninstall commands set to silent in a script such as a batch file running as an administrative user.  If you have nothing better to push this out, you could use an AD startup script (disable tamper protection first in the policy).  

    Maybe this "uninstall task" can be a task that runs prior to the next product being installed however that's deployed.  You may have to test this to ensure you can uninstall one product and install another without a reboot.

    Otherwise I assume you are replacing Sophos, in which case, the other vendor might have the equivalent on the Sophos CRT application.  

    Can I ask the reason you're uninstalling?
