Challenge-Response in Offline Mode
You can allow a user to uninstall the Endpoint Security client on their remote Windows
computer without giving the client uninstall password to the user. A challenge-response
procedure validates the identity of the user on the remote computer.
This is the procedure for Offline mode, using the Endpoint Offline Management Tool. This
procedure is for environments where the clients do not have a connection to the Endpoint
Security Server. If the clients do have a server connection, use the online procedure:
