Starting with GlobalProtect app 6.0.4 and later and 6.1 releases, you can uninstall
the app from macOS endpoints by configuring a policy that contains a script with the
GlobalProtect app uninstall command. When the policy is triggered, the GlobaProtect
app is uninstalled on macOS endpoints.
For macOS Monterey 12.2.1 endpoints, before you begin, remove system extensions using Jamf Pro. During the uninstallation,
end users on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 endpoints are not prompted to remove the
GlobalProtect system extension.
If you uninstall the GlobalProtect app from macOS Monterey endpoints using the
GlobalProtect app PKG file, end users are prompted by a pop-up to enter the
administrator username and password to remove the system extension.
For macOS endpoints earlier than macOS Monterey, regardless of whether the
GlobalProtect app is uninstalled using a command or PKG file, end users ares
still prompted by a pop-up to enter the administrator username and password to
remove the system extension.
