Remote and silent uninstall of SAV 10.x and then cleanup with cleanwipe
I need to remotely and quietly uninstall and cleanup all Symantec products on domain workstations. I am wanting to combine the use of msiexec to perform a remote uninstall of SAV 10.x, and then followup with cleanwipe so that LiveUpdate gets uninstalled along with all virus definitions and related Symantec items. I want to do everything using psexec from an admin workstation.
Here is what I am trying to work with... (workstations are running low level users)
1. I need to remotely edit the workstation registry to turn off the SAV password requirement before I can uninstall anything. I have this reg code ready and tested, but need to push it out using psexec.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA RE\INTEL\L ANDESK\Vir usProtect6 \CurrentVe rsion\Admi nistratorO nly\Securi ty]
"LockUnloadServices"=dword :00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA RE\INTEL\L ANDESK\Vir usProtect6 \CurrentVe rsion\Admi nistratorO nly\Securi ty]
"UseVPUninstallPassword"=d word:00000 000
2. I need to then uninstall SAV 10.x using this statement, which seems to work okay.
psexec \\192.168.0.148 MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x {5A633ED0-E5D7-4D65-AB8D-5 3ED4351028 4} REMOVE=ALL
3. I then need to execute cleanwipe on all the same computers to remove LiveUpdate and related Symantec items. I cannot seem to get this nailed down. Cleanwipe is a folder that contains files and a batch file that calls those files.
I want to combine all 3 of these steps into one error free batch file and run it against just one computer for testing, then against all domain computers. Thanks for the help.
