Uninstall - Sophos
Summary
This document outlines how to run the Agnostic Remove-Sophos.ps1 script on a target Automate managed device.
NOTE: This script will fail if you do not use the SkipZap parameter and Sophos Zap is not installed.
NOTE: TAMPER PROTECTION MUST BE TURNED OFF OR THIS WILL NOT WORK.
Sample Run
It is recommended that you run this script with the NoSafeMode global parameter set to 0; it removes the application cleaner and results in fewer application remnants. Please consider running this in safe mode if possible.
This setup will skip the removal of the Sophos Zap platform.
Dependencies
Variables
No non-template variables in the script.

User Parameters

FAQ
-
The script failed but Sophos was actually removed.
This can happen if you run the script without the -force parameter, then see that the uninstall recommended the force parameter and run the script again on that same machine with the force parameter. -
There are a lot of leftover files on the target computer.
The cleanest method of removal is to set the Arguments parameter to -force, remembering that you should be using -SkipZap if Zap is not installed with the NoSafeMode set to 0.
