  • 1.  Uninstallation of SEP Client using Cleanwipe utility

    Posted May 26, 2014 08:00 AM

    Dear All,

    I have an Production Server installed with SEP Client and the installed Client is having some issues. And I need to reinstall the same. So i tried uninstalling the existing version via Appwiz control but it dint get uninstalled Properly.So I had to use the Cleanwipe tool to uninstall the same. When am I uninstalling it, it had prompted to restart the computer. Since its a production server and there is no downtime available as of now, is there any possibilty of suppressing the restart and reinstalling the SEP Client.

    Cleanwipe requires a restart, no way around it at this point.
