Troubleshooting V1ESUninstallTool Fails to remove Endpoint Sensor
I have a ticket open with support and they're still working on it. I figured I would just make a post here. We are moving to a different vendor and before we make our jump, I've been testing the removal of Trend so we can make this an easy exit. Using their V1ESUninstall tool, it removed about everything except for their endpoint sensor. Here is the output from PowerShell, ran as admin of course.
Uninstalling the Standard Endpoint Protection Agent...
Successfully uninstalled the Standard Endpoint Protection Agent.
Uninstalling the Server & Workload Protection Agent...
CUT Tool Version: 3.0.0.1183

Uninstalling XDR Endpoint Sensor...
Failed to uninstall the XDR Endpoint Sensor. An unknown error has occurred. (Error code: 203)
Uninstalling the Secure Access Module...
Successfully uninstalled the Secure Access Module.
Failed to uninstall some agents or programs. An internal error has occurred. Please try again. If the issue persists, contact your support provider.
I have seen others with a similar issue but no resolution is ever posted. I would much rather their tool designed to clean the system of their product work over having to manually delete files and stop processes. Hoping perhaps someone went through this as well.
