    I am trying to install Forefront endpoint on clients that have SEP 11 which password protection. I know that if the password protection is turned on, the uninstall of SEP client fails. I found this blog that talks about changing certain registries from a batch file but I can't find those registries. Anyone else had this issue and what did you end up trying ?

    I ran in to the same scenario, solved it by turning off the password in the Symantec console.

    I have used the following batch to remove SEP 11 without disabling password protection:

    net stop "symantec antivirus"

    "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Smc.exe" -stop


    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC" /V smc_exit_test /f


    "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Smc.exe" -stop

    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC" /v smcinstdata /f


    MsiExec.exe /X {2EFCC193-D915-4CCB-9201-31773A27BC06} /qb REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

    "C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LSETUP.EXE" /U /Q

    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SEVINST.EXE" /U /Q
