Can DAgent be uninstalled as a job?

For the Aclient, you could choose a server, right click /advanced/ uninstall agent and it would deploy a job to uninstall the agent. I then copied this job to my build script since my client wants it removed after a server is built.
For 2008, if I right click/uninstall the agent will not remove itself. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm trying to avoid running an msiexec as a runonce.

You would just want to make sure that the MSI guid is the same for your DAgent version. You look for it in the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

Thanks - the job works well
Thanks - the job works well but unfortunately does not finish. This will work but I was hoping to have a job that completes successfully to give our server builders the green check mark. I wonder if there's a timeout that be set on the script from the altiris side and to give it a success code after it errors out?

Oh, I forgot! If you're pushing it as a DS job to the client, it doesn't finish because it DAgent loses connectivity with the DS and can't report back the status. I also have it setup as a batch file that the techs can run manually from a computer that needs the DAgent removed.

I will open a call with Altiris to see if there's a proper way to do it, if so I'll post an update here. If not, I'll just keep the job as is.
Thanks
Error 1605
Ran the job below and I keep getting "Error 1605 script during execution" any other ideas
REM Uninstall DAgent through MsiExec
MsiExec.exe /uninstall {6C8D5E56-CA12-42B2-9075-044B4C7067A9} /qn /norestart
:: DAgent GUID Location:
:: Regedit: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall
Error 1605 means that you are
Error 1605 means that you are trying to uninstall a product that is not installed on the system.

So, either the DAgent is not really there, or it's a different version and therefore has a different GUID.
