I don't know about epo 3.x, but with the 2.5x agent just go to the install directory and open a command prompt at that location and type:

aginst32 /remove

Again, I don't know if epo 3.x includes the aginst32.exe which allows you to do this.

g'luck!

"C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\FRMINST.EXE /REMOVE=AGENT"

... my $1 worth of advise, 2cents isn't enough due to inflation

On my 2000 client this did not work, it said it was removing the agent but it actually didn't remove it. The icon did disappear from the sys tray but if I wait 5 mins which is what I has my "enforce local policies" set to the agent returns to the sys tray but the client can no longer talk to the EPO server.. Looking in the Common Framework dir it still shows all the files...

Anyone seen this or have any suggestions?

If you have VirusScan Enterprise 7.0 installed, the CommonFramework service will still be there as it is being used by VSE7. The "ePO agent" portion is gone.

Use "frminst.exe /Remove=Agent"

Note that the "remove agent" command is case sensitive.
The file is found at C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework

but if you want to remove all agents in epo 3.0 ?

The switch /remove=agent is not case sensitive.

Try rebooting the computer then removing it. Or killing the services and delete the files. Or install it and then remove it.

If you want to remove ALL the agents, you can do that by removing them from the directory and selecting the checkbox to "uninstall agent from all connected computers."

thanks guys that stupid epo agent was driving me nuts lagging out a server on me. I was scratching my head trying to figure out how it uninstalled.

I have found "frminst.exe /forceuninstall" to be the best method for removing the 3.x agent. good luck
