Removing a DLP Agent from a Mac endpoint

Removing a DLP Agent from a Mac Endpoint

You can uninstall the Mac DLP Agent by running the uninstaller tool uninstall_agent.
  1. Locate the uninstall_agent command and copy it to a temporary location on the endpoint.
    This tool is located in the
    Symantec_DLP_
    15.8
    _Agent_Mac-IN.zip
    file.
  2. Open the Terminal app.
  3. Remove the archive attribute from uninstall_agent by running the following command:
    sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine uninstall_agent
    Running this command against the same file more than once triggers the error
    No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine
    . You can safely ignore this message because the quarantine attribute is either already removed or no such attribute is present.
  4. Run the following commands to uninstall the agent:
$chmod +x uninstall_agent
$sudo ./uninstall_agent -verboseR -dumplog
You can review uninstall logs on the Terminal application by running this command:
sudo ./uninstall_agent -prompt=no -log=console
. By default, logs are saved to the
uninstall_agent.log
file.
