This issue has been solved. See solution.
..without a reinstallation?
Is this possible?

Easy, check this:
How to convert Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) clients from managed to unmanaged without uninstalling and reinstalling
See this thread:

Make sure to put it in Client mode first. This ensures you have full control over settings once made unmanaged, otherwise if you don't they will be greyed out

What does this mean?

I seriously hate the fact that they took away the ability to control the services.
Go to the Client page
Policies tab
Under Location specific policies and settings click on Location specific settings
Next to Client user interface control settings click on Tasks >> Edit Settings
Click the radio button for Client control
This is what you need to do

It keeps going back to managed.
To prevent the client from switching back to managed, ensure that the sylink.bak file on the SEP client is deleted.

Ok, now since I do not have the ability to stop/start services anymore, how do I drop the sylink on a REMOTE PC?

Or send it to the user and have them import it
