Environment

- Sensor Removal Tool: All Versions
Objective
To obtain the Sensor Removal Tool for Carbon Black Cloud Windows Sensor.
Resolution
- Starting April 22nd of 2021 the Sensor Removal Tool is available upon request only
- If you encounter any install, uninstall or upgrade issue with Carbon Black Cloud Windows Sensor, please open a case with Carbon Black Technical Support
- We want to collect the failed logs in order to make improvements to the install/upgrade/uninstall process
Additional Notes
- The Sensor Removal Tool (SRT) IS A TOOL OF LAST RESORT if standard uninstall fails. The main use-case for this tool is for when the normal uninstall methods fail
- The tool is not designed to uninstall a Carbon Black Cloud (CBC) Windows Sensor, but rather to clean up application remnants left over from an incomplete or failed installation/uninstallation/upgrade
- This should not be used by default, even after running the uninstaller, unless there are issues removing the product or updating the sensor to a newer version
- The SRT will need to be run 1) in Safe mode and then 2) in Normal mode, requiring at least two system reboots
When opening a Support case, please provide the following:
- Details regarding the scenario you're currently experiencing; e.g. what seems to be the overall issue
- Verbose MSI log (generated at install using /L*vx option)
- cb-installer-<sensor.version>.log (3.5.x.x and higher Sensors ) or confer-temp.log (3.4.x.x or older sensor)
