hello there. 

 

I'll tried to auto uninstall all forticlient on my compagnie, for install a new version. 

 

I use BMC client managment for install package of Forticlient V.6.4.9.

 

But, i search a method for uninstall the older version of Forticlient, for hundred laptop. 

 

Does it possible to create a script for force the deconnection of Forticlient on client, and uninstall it ? 

 

Thanks for your answer.

Hi

If you don't have FortiClient EMS then you should be able to do it with GPO.

From the website: https://support.fortinet.com/Download/FirmwareImages.aspx you can download FortiClientTools. This contains an uninstall tool.

Hi Everyone. 

 

Thanks for your answer. 

 

@RinoBroer I can't use FortiClientTools, because i tried with FCRemove.exe, but i can't force the deconnexion of the user. I would like to do this in such a way that it is completely transparent to the user.

 

@AEK : The problem is that I don't know what we have on the park. We have EMS, and we have some disconnected client, and for that, i would do something universal for any version.
