Uninstall Virtualization Scan Controller

Uninstallation doesn't delete the Sophos Enterprise Console database. It only undoes the changes made by the Virtualization Scan Controller.

Uninstalling also unregisters the Virtualization Scan Controller service.

Note If you wish to unregister the Virtualization Scan Controller as a Windows service you can use the command SavScanController unregister.

These instructions assume that you have a standalone installation of Sophos Enterprise Console.

Note If you have a distributed installation (Sophos Enterprise Console components on different servers), see Appendix B: Uninstall with a distributed console.

To uninstall Virtualization Scan Controller:

  1. Open a command prompt window at the directory where you have the Virtualization Scan Controller files.
  2. Ensure Virtualization Scan Controller is not running on the computer.

    To stop it, type net stop SavScanController if you have registered as a Windows service. Otherwise, press Ctrl+C.

  3. Enter SavScanController uninstall and press Enter.
