Is there a way that we can uninstall sophos 7.3 then preceeded by sep client installation using migration and deployment wizard?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you download the CD2 of the SEP 11.0 product, it has a folder called as competetive uninstaller. Where there are a lot of scripts for uninstalling other products. I am sure you will find one for sophos 7.3 as well.

After that, you can use the migration and deployment wizard for deploying the SEP client.

When I use migration and deployment wizard will it be function as uninstallation of sophos followed by sep client installation all in one push?

thanks

Hi,

Migration and deployment wizard can only uninstall legacy Symantec AV clients and previous installations of SEP clients, then the package installs a new client on that machine.

So I think you will need to take care of uninstalling sophos first and then go ahead with the deployment process.

Try removing sophos first, you can try by using msiexec, go here for the syntax
