After running the batch file, the following changes will happen under the registry path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\HostedAgent\:
- "ClientRegistered" is changed from "1" to "0"
- "AgentGuid" is deleted
Before running the .bat file, "ClientRegistered" shows as "1":

- Reboot the machine.
- After the machine reboots, the agent will regenerate the Agent GUID and report to the server (if the Internet is connected).
