Uninstall Sophos Endpoint Software on Windows 10 machine

Christo L

Eventually I want to remove Sophos from over 700 machines but I'll be happy if it works for just one test machine to start.

1) I have gone into Sophos Central and turned off tamper protection

2) In Sophs Central I have Manage Endpoint Software>No Protection (Remove any current protection)

3) opened an administrator command prompt and typed with and without the /s

    • REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s /f SOPHOS > C:\Sophos_Uninstall_Strings32.txt
    • REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s /f SOPHOS > C:\Sophos_Uninstall_Strings64.txt

Results:  Nothing changed except I got the text file in the root of C:\

FYI:  In the past month I have managed to get a script to run thru SCCM with user interaction and then it failed when I went to no user interaction (-silent).  I suspect it needed a restart at the beginning and the end of the process.  I went back to SCCM with user interaction and now it also failed so I have gone all the way back to the command prompt on a single computer and it even fails.

Any help would be appreciated.

    This should do it without tamper protection enabled:

    "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint Agent\SophosUninstall.exe" --quiet

    Running the individual component installers is not ideal as you need to factor in the order for them to be successful. 

    If the above doesn't work there is SophosZap but that's more of a last resort and more of a manual process for one or 2 computers.
