If I understand your question, you wish to uninstall Eset NOD32 prior to rolling out SEP.
If that is correct, there is a removal tool for Eset here:

It requires a safemode boot, so it isn't quick or easy, but is probably the most expedient way forward.

@younghv:
i will try your way by using goverlan and psexec but i am facing little problem with, how can i provide the tamper protection password in nod32 that required during the un-installation period ?
@phototropic:
will i think it will better to look inside ESET IF there is no way i can do the un-installation of eset at the same time with symantec installation

Ooops!
I did read that wrong - sorry.
I found this removal tool - not sure if photo is linking the same thing:
http://www.nod32.nl/download/tool/nod32removal.exe
By default, PSEXEC uses the Domain/System privileges of the account running it - or you can enter the username/password in the command string when you start up PSEXEC.
For sure, you will want to re-boot the systems AFTER removing eset - and before you start the install of Symantec.

Y-IT,
Just to let you know I have used the tool with both version 11 and version 12 SBE and deployed to over 500 client pc's without issue. Just follow the instructions in the documents and everything should go without a hitch. Good Luck
