Remote Uninstall for Windows Roaming Client
Jubaire
This would be very useful. If not done through the GUI, can you compile a msi or an approved Powershell script that we can run similar to what Scott posted below?

Would like this ability available for Mac roaming clients as well.

$prog = "DNSFilter"
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -match $prog }
if($app -ne $null)
{
$app.Uninstall()
}
else {
Write-Host "Could not find program $prog"
}

this would be excellent -for all platforms

100% agree that breaking DNS resolution entirely when "unlinked" makes it hard to roll out the roaming agent. Issue an uninstall command on next agent check in if a device is removed from the DNSFilter dashboard.

We still need the ability to initiate the DNS Filter uninstall from the Dashboard. Without this feature DNS Filter would be accountable for roaming agents making it look like the internet is broken. Note: this feature, as of 6/30/22 is not working. DNS Filter is failing open on all devices we've tested on, including my boss's system.
Ignore my comments from 3/10/22 regarding an uninstall program. A couple weeks later, I compiled our own uninstaller which can be initiated command line or interactive. I have the "password required" feature commented out for now.
Aaron
Agreed! Every other remote tool we use has this functionality.

Dashboard to push Roaming Agent uninstall

I work for an MSP, we manage IT for small/medium sized companies. 1) We need the ability to set devices to trigger the DNS Filter roaming agent uninstall. 2) We need the same capability for systems offline when a customer leaves. 3) Lastly, we need to remove a Site/Org from the DNS Filter Dashboard so that any future attempts to have us manage their system errors to open and not "the internet will appear "down"".
IF we don't remove the DNS Agent and the customer or former customer loses connectivity to our DNS Filter Dashboard, the device is useless. How do we overcome this show stopper?
Adam
Yes, please auto-uninstall when deleting either the roaming agent OR the entire site/client/organization! Breaking the agent is the worst!
