Question
How do you remove the DAgent?
Answer
Automated Removal of DAgent
DAgent can be uninstalled from a computer using a Deployment job containing a Run Script task.
Example Script: MsiExec.exe /qn /uninstall {6C8D5E56-CA12-42B2-9075-044B4C7067A9}
The Registry Key needed is taken from HKLM>>SOFTWARE>>Microsoft>>Windows>>CurrentVersion>>Uninstall. There will be several folders that are listed as only GUIDs. Go through those until one where the the 'InstallLocation' is the path to the DAgent executable folder (default is C:\Program Files\Altiris\DAgent\). GUID name of the folder is the key value to insert into that script command.
Important: When using this type of task on a computer running Vista, ensure that the Script Window option is set to Hidden.
