Uninstall and Repair Endpoints via Sophos Central

The uninstall and repair options via console would make it easier to manage a large number of machines, mainly because sometimes it is difficult to get access to some of them.

    This feature has come/will come to late for us! Should have been present from the beginning!

    We are testing an implementation of an "automatic self repair" capability. We hope to include it in an Early Access Program, perhaps as early as next month, with a view to it being included as a standard feature in the next mainstream software release, likely due around April or May.

    It will check for missing or stopped services on each update, and start any stopped ones and trigger a reinstall for any that won't start or are missing. It will also re-checksum all files to look for file corruptions, downloading new copies of any that are found to be corrupted.

    This is basic and essential feature that should be available on SEC. all competitors have this feature !!

    Essential feature to have the ability to uninstall from the Sophos Central Management console.

    Most competitors (BitDefender, Webroot etc) have functionality like this, which is used when a computer is being retired, moved to another departement/(sub-estate), troubleshooting purposes etc.

    One more Up Vote on this one. The ability to uninstall the client from the Central console is essential and basic functionality.

  • Martin Watts commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This or a utility to simply forcefully remove the software when it ends up in a "stale" state. We always have the same issues after reinstalling as it retains so much "garbage" from the previous installation.
