I can't uninstall Backup Exec 2010r2
I was about to apply the license to Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R2 onto a trail version installation that's been working like a charm for the past 2-3 weeks. I am unable to apply the license though due to thr fact that I receive an access denied to the symcinstall file. I tried to uninstall through programs and features; same thing. I even went to the registry area for this and again, I receive an access denied. I gave this program files directory full access rights to the very T and am still receiving this error of not be able to access. I tried a different profile, same thing. This installation has become corruptted and more worse, I am unable to apply the license to continue using this product. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Can u remember which account i.e username/pwd was used to install and configure the Backup exec, use the same account to uninstall!!

S00007359, Yes, I most likely used the local admin profile prior to attaching it to the domain during the migration period a few weeks ago. I did some research as far as how to go about accessing the local administrator profile now its on the domain controller. It seems a bit involved manipulating the policy (GPO) settings. Tell me what your thoughts are.

dlethe, I will give your link a shot when I'm onsite this afternoon. Thanks!
if it's not a domain controller, demote it to a workgroup and try uninstalling it!
