Can we uninstall different anti-virus using a script or command and push install using Kaspersky admin Kit, the scenario is when you want to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus to 400 users by deployment using Kaspersky Admin Kit and you must uninstall current anti-virus that the users used, but the current anti-virus are different and not the same, so anyone has any ideas how to solve this matter, any solutions? Imagine if the users are more than thousand using different kind of anti-virus, to our information we only know a few user using what kind of anti-virus and the rest remain mystery and no record of what kind so ever.. huh.gif ai.gif

Hello,

Yes Kaspersky Administration Kit is a powerful product and can detect several competitive products installed.
You just have to deploy Kaspersky Network Agent component on all hosts of the network, and then information about which competitive product is installed will be communicate to the Administration Server, using the console you will be able to gather all hosts having a specific version of a specific product.

And finally you can deploy uninstallation scripts using Administration Kit to clean all computers of security product, and then perform installation of KAV WKS.

I noticed that Kaspersky Admin Kit has an external anti-virus removal that covers almost the latest version of anti-virus. Still, for other anti-virus that are not included such as AVG, other version of Panda anti-virus, NOD32 and many more there are no removal tool for uninstall in the Admin Kit. What solutions that you advise to encounter such a problem? Using script or batch files to push install using Admin Kit?

A standalone tool named "KLeaner" exists and can be used with script (*.ini files) to uninstall security products, even if they are not available in the Administration Console you'd better ask to your reseller or contact KL technical support to get it.
