Uninstall Safeguard Easy 4.3 without any prompts

ZackAhmed

I am trying to uninstall and decrypt Windows XP machines using the following command:

msiexec /x {C7F3B40E-D70A-4E2C-B34B-E9023E564FBE} CFGFILE=c:\uninstall.cfg /qn

But, I do not want to be prompted to click on Next and enter the username/password.  Is there a way to do that?  Is there a switch I can use to put the user and password?

Bottom line: I am trying to deploy Windows 7 through SCCM/PXE boot but running into issues with encrypted XP machines.  So I am basically trying to uninstall safeguard on all XP machines without much administration.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi ZackAhmed,

    the command line syntax is perfectly correct and should trigger the unattended uninstall.

    I'd suggest to check that you created the correct configuration file type (must be uninstall configuration file) and that the credentials provided within the configuration file are the correct ones.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    I would like to note that we are starting our decrption process using SCCM 2012, problem, even using the uninstall its still Blue Screen mid way through the decryption. Here is a what we have using for the install. Can someone help with what to use to Uninstall?

    msiexec /i "\\share$\Applications\Fingerprint_Reader\dev_install\utimaco\sgeasy.msi" CFGFILE="\\share$$\Applications\Fingerprint_Reader\dev_install\utimaco\install.cfg" ADDLOCAL=Sgeasy,Encryption,RcWiz Installdir="C:\Program Files\Lenovo" /quiet /forcerestart

    I am currently using this string from sccm, msiexec /x c:\SGE\sgeasy.msi CFGFILE=c:\SGE\Uninstall.cfg /qn /forcerestart

    Now, the Decrption part finished, once we reboot from the Blue Screen, can you explain why this is occuring using my above uninstall string method? Do i need to use the actually msiexec /x {application string} oppose to the above steps?

    We have managed to mostly automate the uninstallation process using Sophos' support recommended methods with the EXCEPTION of the uninstallation of the core, which is all required in order to access the unencrypted drive.  

    We are trying to script the uninstaller so that it has sufficient time to perform the disk unencryption during the core removal, however the SGN processes have to be killed first.  We can do this manually on XP but not in SCCM 2012.

    Ideas?

    Here are our command lines and script:

    taskkill /f /t /im SGN_MasterServicen.exe

    taskkill /f /t /im SGNMaster.exe

    MsiExec.exe /X {957BE63D-2202-4618-BA64-12115A1F8C93} /qn

    Restart in WinPE
