  • 1.  Set Uninstall password for clients SEPM 12.1.4

    Posted Apr 18, 2014 11:39 AM

    Hello I have the latest SEPM install 12.1.4. I cant for the life of me figure out where to set the uninstall password for clients. I have been banging my head against a wall for 2 days now. I look at older versions I have deployed on other clients servers and its clearly under client - policies - security. But theres no option in this version that I can clearly find. I have clicked on every menu - sub menu - option even went of far as clicking on the help for each section. I'm at a loss. Please help.

    Login to SEPM

    Select Clients > Select group to apply this to > Policies tab > General Settings > Security Settings tab > tick the check box "Require a password to uninstall the client" and enter and confirm your password.

    See Step 3 at the bottom from this link:

    That's it!

    thank you for your quick response...

    There is no clients menu. Just a computers menu.

    If I go to computers - laptops and desktops - policies menu this is what i see.  no options for security or general settings.

    Ahh sorry you're running SBE, just caught that.

    This option is not available in SBE:
