Hey everyone - I'm very much a newbie here but would love some advice - at the moment I am uninstalling Symantec from all our macs and installing Windows Defender. I'm using the command script from here to uninstall Symantec -
https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=TECH103489
My policy places the command file at a local location on each mac and then runs it from there, however on my test mac I've found I'm still being prompted if I want to uninstall Symantec and 1 or 2 other prompts that I have to click on before it runs...is there anyway to make it fully silent without any interaction from a user?

Hi.
Im my case I modify the script for not be prompt. I force the choice on the script for uninstall , and I force the yes entry directly on the script.
Before execute the script you need to remove Symantec Endpoint Protection.app with a rm command (if your on macOS 10.15 like us)

Would you mind sharing your script with me? I'm a beginner with coding and usually just copy paste scripts to run.

You can create a package with composer
Place the file RemoveSymantecMacFiles.command in /Private/tmp
In preinstall script use the this command :
rm -R "/Applications/Symantec Solutions/Symantec Endpoint Protection.app"
In post install script use this command :
/tmp/RemoveSymantecMacFiles.command -A
rm /tmp/RemoveSymantecMacFiles.command

Thanks for uploading the customised Symantec removal tool. But I am getting this one pop up. Is this can be suppressed as well?

Is there any way to remove SEP system extensions by running the script/commands?
