Hi, I am looking for a script to do a silent forced removal of Sophos SafeGuard, so far I have not been able to work this out so has anyone else done this and can share some ideas ? I appreciate your time.
Thanks
+5We use Sophos but not SafeGuard. I'm curious have you tried taking the pkg file from the /Library/Sophos SafeGuard FS directory and uploading that pkg file to Jamf and deploying it through a policy via self-service so that way you can at least test it out? I would get a test machine of course. Or at least tell me what ways you have attempted. It does seems like a pretty easy uninstall from Sophos end:
Uninstall File Encryption from Mac endpoints
If you need to uninstall the software from a client computer, proceed as follows:
- On the Mac client go to /Library.
- Open the folder Sophos SafeGuard FS.
- Select and double-click the file Sophos SafeGuard FS Uninstaller.pkg
- A wizard guides you through uninstallation.
- Restart the system before continuing to work with your Mac.
Maybe something like this and I have no idea if it will work...I typically use everyone else's script(s) and learn from them.
#!/bin/bash
#Script to Uninstall Sophos SafeGuard
cd /Library/Sophos\\ SafeGuard\\ FS
sudo installer -pkg Sophos\\ SafeGuard\\ FS\\ Uninstaller.pkg -target /
exit 0
You can always drag pkg to terminal to get the correct path.
