Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: Version 3.2 - 3.4
- Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
Symptoms
Depending on the Sensor Version, one or more of the following symptoms may be observed:
- In the Carbon Black Console (CBC) > Inventory > Endpoints page, the Device OS Version and Sensor Version are blank although normally these details are populated
- CBC Service is not installed or running on the device
- CBC Sensor is installed and functioning as expected, but install or upgrade fails
Cause
- "Require code to uninstall sensor" is or was enabled on the CBC Policy at the time of sensor install
- Sensor 3.2 and above uninstalled was attempted without providing the Deregistration Code and resulted in CBC tamper protection changing the permissions of certain cbc files and registry keys
Resolution
- In Sensor version 3.6.x and above, sensor will prompt with message "Uninstall is password protected. Please run uninstall.exe with a valid uninstall code." if deregistration code is required, but not provided.
- If this issue has already occurred, please Open a Support Case for additional assistance.
