Hi,
I feel your pain, specially when all known solutions never work for you. So you have to skip to plan 'B'.
create a batch file and use pstools to push it to all machines (import them from Symantec server, use excell to export ip addresses and save them into a text file"
use this batch file
(double check the Symantec GUID from the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\wi ndows\currentversion\uninstall\)
save the batch file as e.x: uninstall.bat
- prepare a list of IP addresses (one IP at a line) and save it as e.x: old-sav.txt
the downlod Pstools from here:
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PsTools.zip
extract it and go to CMD.exe
replace domain with your domain name
replace admin with your domain admin account
type password when you asked to
the command:
Psexec.exe @old-sav.txt -u domain\admin -c -d -low uninstall.bat
if everything went as the plan, go to the SEPM and deploy SEP using "Find unmanaged computers" .
thats it.
