Hi all,
I'm trying to uninstall FortiClient on macbook with M1/M2 processor using a script from this article: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiClient/Technical-Tip-Uninstall-FortiClient-using-a-script-on-...
I only added two lines to change flags. Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
# Uninstall FortiClient.sh
pkill FortiClient
launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet*
chflags -hv noschg /Applications/FortiClient.app
chflags -hv noschg /Applications/FortiClientUninstaller.app
rm -Rfv /Applications/FortiClient.app
rm -Rfv /Applications/FortiClientUninstaller.app
rm -Rfv /Library/Application\ Support/Fortinet
rm -Rfv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins FortiClient_SSLVPN_Plugin.bundle
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.vpn.plist'
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.wf.plist'
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.fmon.plist'
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.epctrl.plist'
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.appfw.plist'
rm -Rfv '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fortinet.forticlient.fssoagent_launchdaemon.plist'
localAccounts=$(dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }')
for user in $localAccounts ;
do
rm -Rfv /Users/"$user"/Library/Application\ Support/Fortinet/
done
But I got error that deleting FortiClient.app and FortiClient.app\Content is not permitted, because application is locked. At this time, FortiClientUninstaller.app has been deleted successfully:
chflags: /Applications/FortiClient.app: Operation not permitted
/Applications/FortiClientUninstaller.app
Could someone help me with this issue, please?

The problem was solved by providing full disk access to Terminal
Hello Webster
I think this is a MacOS security related question, right?
Did you try from single user mode?
Hello AEK,
I didn't try, because I need to execute this script via MDM solution to multiple devices. I had the same problem with GUI uninstaller of FortiClient, but after adding string with changing flags, this problem was solved

Thanks for sharing this post! But no idea about this particular problem
