If you want to 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.
Command Line Removal
[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.
Command Line Removal
[MSGCODE: 000] Begin agent_msi_remove.bat processing.
[MSGCODE: 005] K1000 Agent is detected.
[MSGCODE: 006] Removing K1000 Agent.
Note: The Network Administrator (such as myself) can push it back to your system via Global Policy at any time but we usually do it once. For new systems being deployed or replacement hard drives, the agent can be manually installed by our technicians. Keep in mind if the PC is removed from the domain, the policy will push it once again when it is returned to the domain.
If you are a Network Administrator and wish to prevent a user from uninstalling, be sure that your technicians place them in the proper local group on the computer. For those who must be in the Administrator group to run programs such as FormFusion, try adding SmartShield by Centurion Technologies to the system as it will protect the hard disk drive from permanent changes upon a reboot.
