how to disable symantec endpoint protection at school

Less than 24 hours later I was contact by Symantec and provided with a username and password to download cleanwipe from.

I contacted Symantec and created a case where I requested CleanWipe. I was unable to remove either version of SEP. I seemed that the patch failed to apply and now windows has SEP listed in the installed programs list twice. The 32bit version of the patch applied without issue but when I applied the 64bit patch I ran into mayor issues after reboot. I was informed by a technician at DEECD that the bug was resolved in SEP 12.1 RU1 MP1.

For more information on the bug visit the Symantec website. This was rather annoying as some of my servers have up to 4 network interfaces of which not all are used and need to remain disabled. I installed the upgrade onto one of my Windows 2008 R2 servers at work and found a bug which enables all network interfaces, including disabled ones at boot. Our schools were recently informed to upgrade SEP 12.1 RU1 from SEP 11. Within Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) schools also known as Victorian Government schools we run Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) for our Anti-Virus program.
