  • 1.  Removing Symantec Endpoint - Non Managed Systems

    Posted Nov 12, 2010 02:13 AM

    I am currently working on a network that has approx 1000 computers. We recently moved from one location to another, and a lot of computers on our network are now unmanaged. We need a script or program that will removed and / or kill Symantec from a system (running Windows XP and Vista) that is unmanaged. If anyone can help me out with this, I would appreciate it!

    We need to replace the sylink file which is used for communication between the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and Symantec Endpoint Protection Client.
