33.2 Enable Uninstall Password for Endpoint Security Agent

Client Self Defense does not prevent the Endpoint Security Agent from being uninstalled by the agent installation program. If you want to prevent users from removing the Endpoint Security Agent without permission, you must enable an uninstall password.

The uninstall password applies only when a user tries to uninstall the agent at the device. If you use the ZENworks Adaptive Agent features (Configuration tab > Management Zone Settings > Device Management > ZENworks Agent) to uninstall the Endpoint Security Agent, the uninstall password is not used.

Select one of the following options:

  • Yes: Enables an uninstall password. To specify the password, click Change, specify and confirm the password, then click OK to save it.

  • No: Disables an uninstall password.

  • Inherit: If the policy’s Inherit from Policy Hierarchy setting is enabled, inherits this setting value from other Security Setting policies assigned higher in the policy hierarchy. For example, if you assign this policy to a user, the setting value is inherited from any Security Setting policies assigned to the user’s groups, folders, or zone.
