    Hello,

    No, there is no shortcut for changing these passwords at one shot.

    You could have to change these uninstall password from each SEPM's only.

    The password will be in DB ( not sure of the table)

    however on the client side it wil be encrypted form in the Smsinst key.

    Hello,

    The SEP client uninstall password is stored in the Symantec Database.

    Check the Database Schema - 

    Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 12.1.2 Database Schema

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC6039

    Note: SEPM 12.1.2 and SEPM 12.1.3 has the same schema.

    Hope that helps!!

    AFAIK its not possible to change as it will be encrypted and each group will have different password.

    You can get in touch with support they might be having a query to rest the password.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    As everyone said if policy is not inherited then need to perform stpes manually.

    There is no such tool which can do this job.
