Prevent Unauthorized Uninstallations: ClientLockDown_Client.mst

For command line, Group Policy or SMS installations, you can use a transform to prevent users from uninstalling CA DataMinder with the Add/Remove Programs utility. The ClientLockDown.mst transform disables the Change and Remove buttons when a user selects CA DataMinder in the Add/Remove Programs dialog.

Follow these steps:

  1. Find the ClientLockDown.vbs script in the \Support folder of your CA DataMinder distribution media.
  2. Run the script.

    It creates the ClientLockDown_Client.mst (or ClientLockDown_Client_x64.mst) transform.

  3. Copy the transform into the folder containing your administrative installation source image.
