  • 1.  aexagentutil.exe /uninstallagents removes SEP

    Posted Jun 22, 2011 04:29 PM

    As we prepare for 7.1 I've been following the Symantec advice to run aexagentutil.exe /uninstallagents on 6.x clients prior to upgrading them.  This is because there are certain plug-ins that do not upgrade or get removed.   Noticed that it is uninstalling SEP when run.  I believe this to be tied to the Symantec Endpoint Integration component that we had deployed. It does not appear to be entirely consistent though.

    Has anyone else seen this or have a work around if SEPIC was installed?

    thanks,

    I have since been able to modify the uninstall.js supplied with the 6.x SEPIC component so that it removes only the SEPIC component and not SEP itself.   Appears to be working for that component.  Still having the issue of SEP being removed when aexagentutil is run.

     

     

    var shell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" );
    var connectSepAgentDir = "ConnectSEPAgent";
    var sepProductCodeRegKey = "HKLM\\Software\\Symantec\\Symantec Endpoint Protection\\SMC\\ProductCode";
    var altirisAgentInstallPathRegKey = "HKLM\\Software\\Altiris\\Altiris Agent\\InstallDir";
    var connectSepAgentRegKey = "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Altiris\\Altiris Agent\\Plugin Objects\\Agents\\ConnectSEPAgent\\";
     
     
    // remove the ConnectSEP agent
    var filesys = WScript.CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
    var altirisAgentInstallPath = shell.RegRead( altirisAgentInstallPathRegKey );
    filesys.DeleteFolder( altirisAgentInstallPath + "\\..\\Agents\\" + connectSepAgentDir, true );
    shell.RegDelete( connectSepAgentRegKey );
