I had situation where we had to uninstall sophos end point but unfortunately we had deleted agent off of a cloud console. So we were pretty much out of luck with uninstall since sophos agent had tamper protection on. One of my colleague came up with this brilliant script he found and it worked like charm!!
First boot PC into safe mode
Then save below as batch job and run it and will need to reboot back and then sophos will be gone.
This script also useful when PC is already on console and if you want to remove AV out of batch of Pc’s. Simply disable tamper protection from cloud console and give some times and then run the batch job.
