Remove ePO
Okay a pet peeve of mine; a friend asks you to look at their PC/laptop. No problem if I have the time I’ll help you out.
You drop off said PC/laptop and it has McAfee ePO installed on it. First off, red flag my readers! This is not a personal piece of equipment. It is a business item. Can you get around user names/passwords and get local administrator rights? Of course. That is a topic I will not cover. You either know how or you do not. Your IT staff knows how; if they don’t, well I’m a consultant and would be happy to help. Provided the right contracts are in place.
Anyhow moving along. How to remove the ePO agent from your desktop you ask? Simple!
Find the frminst and change to the directory it resides in. In this case I had to go to:
C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework>
From here you run: frminst /remove=agent
Now continue with your work. The ePO agent won’t be a bother any longer. Sorry, pet peeve and had to rant a moment!
Oh, once again, use this information at your own risk! If you are not the IT guru/manager for your company you can seriously mess up your system.
