uninstall mac SEC silent

We run this command to remove Sophos via IBM Endpoint Manager, but you can also do it via the "Send UNIX Command" in Apple Remote Desktop or via an SSH connection:

installer -pkg "/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg" -target /

ok will try that one.....

Unfortunately, since we are on version 9.1.6 there no longer is a .pkg uninstaller

It now is a .app file

So far no luck.....

Try the Terminal commands in this article:

http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/14179.aspx

unfortunately that also is not silent.

it throws up a screen to the user which must acknowledge the uninstall......

Removing SAV from a SEC managed endpoint containing SAV 9.1.6:

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Sophos/opm/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/tools/InstallationDeployer --remove

works for me.

Note that there are two copies of InstallationDeployer.  Use the one in tools.

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Sophos/opm/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/InstallationDeployer --remove

will display the dialog which you report.

Hope that helps.

great that worked, did find the one without tools before but this one never.

maybe good idea to put it in the new version of the documentation in the future???

thank you so much

That path (with the tools folder) is documented in the article I linked you to however you posted back that it didn't work.  :smileyfrustrated:  I'm confused as to what isn't in the article that should be.

Can I ask: What did you try from the article that didn't work?  And what documentation did you read that we could look to include the command in?
