Issue:

Automated Uninstall of Workstation Agent from Central Location

Product:

Pearl Echo 6.0

Applies to:

All Builds

Background
To increase Pearl Echo Workstation Agent security, the Pearl Echo Service authenticates Pearl Echo Workstation uninstall requests. This requires the Pearl Echo password to be provided during an uninstall process. Pearl Software has created a utility to be run with command line parameters to assist in automating the Pearl Echo Workstation software uninstall.

Solution:

  1. Download the Pearl Echo uninstall utility.
  2. Run the uninstall utility with Administrative privilege as follows: ec6spun.exe 1+yourpassword
  3. After reboot, re-run the utility with Administrative privilege as follows: ec6spun.exe 2+yourpassword

The following demonstrates running the uninstall utility from a login script:

@echo off
REM On first run, remove Pearl Echo 6.0 network components & reboot client
if exist c:\firsttime-v6.txt goto vmiddle
copy \\YourServerName\YourShareName\firsttime-v6.txt c:\firsttime-v6.txt
start /D"\\YourServerName\YourShareName" ec6spun.exe 1+yourpassword
goto vend
:vmiddle
REM On second run, complete Pearl Echo 6.0 workstation file removal

if exist c:\secondtime-v6.txt goto vend
copy \\YourServerName\YourShareName\secondtime-v6.txt c:\secondtime-v6.txt
start /D"\\YourServerName\YourShareName" ec6spun.exe 2+yourpassword
:vend

Notes:
1. The above script is provided for sample purposes only. Pearl Software does not support the editing of scripts, GPO or other third party deployment tools.
2. The Pearl Echo Workstation uninstall must be run with Administrative privileges.
