The following K1000 script can be used to completely remove the K1000 Agent from Windows devices. It is architecture agnostic and will work equally well for x86 and x64 versions of Windows.
Successful testing was completed against the following platforms:
- Windows 7 Professional SP1 x86
- Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64
- Windows 8 Enterprise x86
K1000 Script Configuration
| Name | Agent Uninstall And Cleanup |
| Enabled | Yes |
| Type | Online KScript (although Offline should work as well) |
| Operating Systems | Microsoft Windows |
| Windows Run As | Local System |
Task 1 Configuration
| Verify | Verify the service "AMPAgent" is running. |
| On Success | Run the batch file "AgentUninstallAndCleanup" with params "". |
AgentUninstallAndCleanup Batch File (Retain KUID)
The following batch file works in several steps, but basically it does the following:
1) Creates a cleanup batch file to remove any remaining Agent directories after the Agent is uninstalled, as well as the cleanup batch file itself. This is placed in the C:\Windows\Temp directory, where it is executed by a scheduled task and then is removed once it has been run.
2) Creates a scheduled task to run the batch file created in step 1. This scheduled task executes 2 minutes after creation. If the scheduled task already exists, it is removed and recreated.
3) Runs the standard "AMPTools uninstall" command to uninstall the Agent.

AgentUninstallAndCleanup Batch File (Remove KUID - Agent 6.2 and below)
The following batch file works the same as the previous, but includes a command to remove all references to the KUID in the registry. This approach is necessary if the Agent is version 6.2 or lower.

AgentUninstallAndCleanup Batch File (Remove KUID - Agent 6.3 and above)
The following batch file works the same as the previous, but uses the "all-kuid" option (available starting in version 6.3 of the Agent) to remove all references to the KUID in the registry.

Notes
1) The AgentCleanup scheduled task remains after the K1000 script runs. However, this should not be a major issue since it only runs once and the batch file it runs (AgentCleanup.bat) is deleted after execution.
2) Carriage returns will break some of the longer statements (if /i ... in the Uninstall the Agent and Registry Cleanup sections) - these appear on multiple lines here due to text wrapping. Copying and pasting into a text editor like Notepad should result in these statements being placed on a single line.
