Uninstall firewall component from workstations

Hey there, we are about to move to sophos cloud. I have aprox 40 workstations that have the firewall component installed on them. How do i remove just that component so that we can move to the cloud services model? As i understand it, they cannot be migrated till this component is removed.

Obviously i do not want to hand touch 40+ workstations...

Please let me know recommended procedure for doing this. thanks.

Hello givemecontrol,

please see How to uninstall Sophos Endpoint Security and Control from the command line or with a batch file - applies to single components as well.

Yup worked perfect. For reference to anyone else, i made a cmd script that ran on the computer container in the scripts section (computer configuration -> policies -> windows settings -> scripts ->startup ) and used the following command to remove the antivirus as per your linked article.

net stop "Sophos AutoUpdate Service"
MsiExec.exe /X {A805FB2A-A844-4CBA-8088-CA64087D59E1} /qn /L*v %windir%\Temp\Uninstall_sophos_firewall.txt

thanks. this solved the issue.
