How to uninstall Sophos AV from Sophos enterprise console

Question

Hi all,

I need help in uninstalling the sophos av at the clients (approcimately 300 users plus). My question would be:

Can I uninstall the sophos av from the sophos enterprise console?
If yes, how can it be done?
If not, does it means, I have to do it manually at 300 users pc?

Please help me in this issue. :smileysad:

I created a batch file that is deployed via GPO. It stops the update service, and then uninstalls the various components installed in our environment. Info on finding the reg keys for your environment - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/109668 
 Also make sure you first disable tamper protection in your console - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/119175 
 The GPO is under Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Startup
