Mac client uninstall

(imported topic written by blaine91)

We have been using the Mac OSX client for a while, but not a wide scale. We recently updated our calendaring system, and the best way to get the new client out in bulk was through BigFix. So, now that I’ve managed to push out the client to over 300 Macs in A&S (and successfully written a fixlet to detect and install the Oracle client for Mac) I’ve been exploring the Mac side in greater detail and paying closer attention to which machines have and don’t have the client. One of the things I’ve looked for is an uninstaller for the Mac client task. I couldn’t find one, so I’ve decided to try and create one.

I’ve dug into the BESAgent Uninstaller.app directory and found a script named BESAgentUninstaller.sh. It looks to simply stop the Agent, then delete a half a dozen or so files and directories. Is there anything else to worry about? Is all the packaging surrounding it just GUI Application stuff?

Yup. That is correct.

Please tell me where I can get this uninstall application so I can get rid of bigfix on my Macintosh. This thing has wasted way too much of my time already. If it is responsible for butchering quicktime 7.2 and wasting many hours of my time, I’m gonna be rather annoyed.
