  • 1.  Find Unmanaged do not determine the existing AV software

    We will be installing SEP to 6000 clients. We are using the Find Unmanaged to determine what is the existing Antivirus of clients. There are 2 common AV our clients are using right now. Sophos and CA Etrust, we  need to determine their existing for us to know what package do we need to use. Is it the Uninstall CA-Install SEP package or the Uninstall Sophos-Install SEP package. The problem is Find Unmanaged did not show us under software column whether it is CA or Sophos. It is not possible for us to just go on clients one by one just to know their existing AV. kIndly help us. Find Unmanaged wizard only recognized Mc Affee and unmanaged Symantec Endpoint Protection

     SEP can uninstall both competitive products in a single package via SEPPrep or the older competitive uninstall tool.

    Why bother having to distinguish what is installed previously?  

    SEPPrep works by the add/remote control program entries...  As long as the entry in your control panel matches whats in the ini file, it will be uninstalled.  
    The older competitive uninstall uses template files calling the msiexec /x {guid} of the respective products.
