    Symantec Endpoint Protection.  I know how to install it unattend with a Powershell script cheat.  That works.

     

    I want to uninstall SEP.  And make sure c:\program files x86\symantec and c:\programdata\symantec are completely gone too.  

     

    Is there an easy switch to uinstall SEP?  I can get the program folder easily enough I think.

    This is the only option available from a cmd prompt:

    Uninstall the Endpoint Protection client from the command prompt

    wmic product where "name like 'Symantec%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

     

    Works for me.  It will work as long as you don't have or care about other Symantec products being uninstalled.  This should uninstall anything that starts with "Symantec...."

     

    Also works nicely with Java.
