If you want remove the K1000 Agent from your system, you will need to create a batch file called agent_msi_remove.bat. If the K1000 Agent is not on your system when you execute the batch file, you will get the following.
[MSGCODE: 000] Begin agent_msi_remove.bat processing.
[MSGCODE: 002] K1000 Agent is not installed.
[MSGCODE: 100] End agent_msi_remove.bat processing.
If the K1000 Agent is on your system, then it will uninstall it. It should work without your account being in the Administrator group but it is best to be in the group or switch over to a local account that has such access.
Note: The Network Administrator can push it back to your system via Global Policy at anytime but they usually do it once. For new systems being deployed or replacement hard drives, the agent is manually installed by technicians.
