I'd like to remove the WAPT agent from my network using Group Policy. But I don't know how to remove the remaining folder after uninstallation other than manually on each machine...

Could you please help me?
Thank you.

Hello,

Have you tried using an Active Directory Group Policy Preference (GPP) to delete a folder?

For example: https://superuser.com/questions/842235/ ... ective-sho

Otherwise, you can always overwrite the WAPT agent installation and create a package that cleans up what's causing the problem.

Regards,

Alexandre

Hello,

we are going to reinstall a WAPT server and redeploy the agents on our workstations.

Would you advise me to delete the agents before creating a new GPO, or is reinstalling with the new settings sufficient?

Sincerely,

Hi Mika,

WAPT allows for the overwriting of an existing installation, so you can proceed without worry and deploy the new version of the WAPT agent via GPO; it's a proven technique.
