If you have a locally managed installation of McAfee, or have somehow lost the McAfee Agent connection to the ePO server, it may be necessary to remove/disable the Solidcore software from a command line. To do this:
1) Open an elevated Command Prompt
2) Type sadmin recover
3) When prompted enter the "ePO Console" password
[The default password is "solidcore" - without the quotes]
4) Type sadmin disable
5) Type sadmin status
This should return two results:
McAfee Solidifier: Enabled
McAfee Solidifier on reboot: Disabled
6) Reboot the machine, and Solidifier will now be disabled
You can then uninstall Solidcore as per normal.
For other uses of the sadmin command, type sadmin help at the command prompt.
