Uninstalling Forcepoint F1E using a deployment server
If you deployed Forcepoint One Endpoint through GPO, you can uninstall the software through the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For more information, see How to use Group Policy to remotely install software.
You can also silently uninstall Forcepoint One Endpoint by running the following command (does not apply to stand-alone DLP):
msiexec /x {product_code} /qn XPSWDPXY=<password>
{product_code}is a unique identifier (GUID) that can be found in the setup.ini file of each installation package or the system registry. It is different for each version and bit type (32-bit versus 64-bit).<password>is the administrator password that you entered when creating the installation package. If the password contains a special character, you must type a ^ character before the special character. For more information, see Guidelines for creating an anti-tampering password.
To find the setup.ini file, use a file compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip to extract the contents of the installation package executable.
To silently uninstall Forcepoint One Endpoint without a restart, include the /norestart parameter as follows:
msiexec /x {ProductCode} /qn /XPSWDPXY=<password> /norestart
The command switches are summarized below.
| Function | Swtich |
|---|---|
| Silent uninstall | msiexec /x {ProductCode} /qn XPSWDPXY=xxxx |
| Silent uninstall without restart | msiexec /x {ProductCode} /qn XPSWDPXY=xxxx/norestart |
