Does anyone here ever try a script where it will uninstall an Avira Antivir and install SEP 11? As per checking the competitive uninstall on CD2 of MR4MP2. I don't even see Avira in there. We will be installing SEP 11 in an organization that currently runs Avira Antivir and they want us to use script so no need to interfere users.

Better ask avira for the uninstall script .they might have it.

I could not find any script but perhaps you can use the manual uninstall instruction to create your own.

 Try This

You can use the

Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional. The syntax is:

uninstall script, located in the temporary AntiVir directory, to remove

 uninstall [--product=productname] [--inf=inf-file] [--force]

[--version] [--help]

where

productname is Guard.

 

Open the AntiVir directory:

cd /usr/lib/AntiVir

 

Type:

./uninstall --product=Guard

 

keep backups for the license file, for the configuration files and logfiles; it can also

remove the cronjobs you made for Guard and Scanner. 

 

The script starts uninstalling the product, asking you step by step, if you want to

Answer the questions with y or n and press Enter.
Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional is removed from your system.

 Bijay.Swain:

The above script is for Unix systems and not valid for Windows. I think the above user needs an windows solution.

Thanks

I see this in the regedit file when i'm looking for uninstallstring for avira.

C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\setup.exe /REMOVE

What I will do now is to re-create this script we had use on uninstalling CA and install SEP and test it on a certain workstation.

@ECHO OFF
cd\
MsiExec.exe /X{107558C8-458B-45EA-A0FE-7CC10D687DB6} /quiet /norestart
MsiExec.exe /X{847501DF-07C0-4691-B04A-893929F108AE} /quiet /norestart
md sep
net use x: \\192.168.15.123\sep /user:192.168.15.123\administrator symantec
x:
copy *.* c:\SEP /y
c:
cd sep
setup.exe /quiet /norestart
timeout 10
win.exe /quiet /norestart
timeout 10
del *.* /q
cd\
rd SEP
net use x: /d /y
exit

 Looks like you got it :)
