Issue

  • Perform a push uninstall to password-protected and non-password-protected client(s) using ESET Remote Administrator

Details

The Software Uninstall task is used to uninstall ESET products from clients when they are no longer wanted or needed. If you are uninstalling ERA Agent, ESET products managed by that Agent may retain some settings after the Agent is uninstalled. We recommend that you reset some settings (for example, password protection) to the default settings using a policy before the client device is removed from management. All tasks currently running on the Agent will be abandoned. The Running, Finished or Failed execution status of this task may not be displayed accurately in ERA Web Console depending on replication.

To uninstall on password-protected clients

If the settings on the client workstation(s) are password-protected, type PASSWORD= into the Uninstallation Parameters field, followed by the password. Click OK. This option is only available in ESET Remote Administrator version 6.2 and later. If the settings are not password-protected, skip this step.
