Uninstalling Websense Cloud Security Endpoint client on Windows machines

Got no idea how to use KACE, but...
But why dont you run the GUID uninstall string on the target computer from KACE? Better than faffing with a script.
The uninstall string will be the GUID of the MSI. Best way to find this is goto the machine and find the uninstall string in the registry, hopefully it will look like this
msiexec.exe /x {00000409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7} /qn
If that is not the case above, find the orginal in the windows installer cache and get the GUID. Read this - DONT MESS WITH THE CACHE!

Once you have worked out the GUID I would recommened using this command so you have logging.
msiexec /x {xxxxetcxxx} /qn /l*v %systemroot%\Logs\BlahUninstall.log
I found even after the uninstall of wesense (forcepoint) that you must change back 2 dword values manually.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"CallLegacyWCMPolicies"=dword:00000001
"ProxySettingsPerUser"=dword:00000001
these were still set to 0 value after uninstall and i was unable to "save" any input to the proxy settings until i changed these values back to 1 - Cgrinder21 6 years ago
