Question on: CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform
[How to uninstall the CS sensor remotely from any host?](/discussions/34508-how-to-uninstall-the-cs-sensor-remotely-from-any-host)

One of the biggest challenges I as an administrator have had is removing CS sensor from hosts that I no longer need to monitor. Please let know if there is an effective way to do it.

This can be done via RTR if enabled or via deploying CS's uninstall tool through GPO, or whatever other deployment package manager you are using.

Yes, you can do it through tool psexec and it's need SMB port
