SEP 12.1.671 uninstall Restart issue

  • 1.  SEP 12.1.671 uninstall Restart issue

    Posted Feb 23, 2012 11:50 AM

    Hi everyone,

       I am trying to uninstall SEP 12.1.671.4971 with command line (in corporate) Msiexec.exe /x "{87C925D6-F6BF-4FBD-840B-53BAE2648B7B}" /norestart REMOVE=ALL /qb-!. It uninstall fine (after enter password) but it just restart. I like to control restart part so i can push it out with SCCM. I had tried with REBOOT=ReallySuppress, same thing. I was wondering if some one has any idea how to suppress reboot when you uninstall SEP.

     

    Regards.

    Why don't you just create and customize an install package?

    Hello,

    It is important to let you know that without restart, removal of Symantec Endpoint is difficultdue to the Firewall Driver. Driver could not be removed without a restart.

    In other words, even if you uninstall SEP by surpressing the restart, it would not be completely uninstalled.

    However, Take a glance at these 2 links and let me know if this answers your question.

    Question comes in my mind, why uninstall when you want to install it back??

    Incase, you want to Migrate to the Latest version, then you can simply Migrate the SEPM (check the Article below)

    Upgrade and migration resources for Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1
     
     
    Once, the Migration of SEPM is performed, you could simple create a custom package (without restart option) check this thread - 
     
    Creating custom client installation packages in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console version 12.1
     
     
    Hope that helps!!
