    1. If you want to completely uninstall Altiris Agent with all other solution plug-ins, then you can use only this single command line

    "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\AeXNSAgent.exe" /uninstall

    2. Assume that Altiris Agent becomes installed once again after some time, because you have:

    - You have enabled custom Group Policy in Active Directory, which triggers installation of SMA on computers, which don't have installed Altiris Agent, etc. Sometimes such way of Altiris Agent installation is used by customers but who know, whether you have the same or no.

    - You have enabled "Altiris Agent push install" scheduled task, where your computer with uninstalled Altiris Agent appears and get installed Altiris Agent.
