Hello!

 

If your software have add/remove programs entries, go to the registry : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and check all entries for the name of the installed appication you want to uninstall.

You should find the UninstallString with the needed command to uninstall the software (example : msiexec /I[someGUIDs]

 

Just use that command with an X instead of the I : msiexec /X[someGUIDs] REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb-!

This way, it will remove the application without rebooting the pc and without giving the user a way to interrupt the process.

 

Hope it helps !

Hi

I am trying to remove all SCOM 2007R2 Agents from servers.

Tried the script on one server.

Created a batch file and run it.

 

this is the script:

MsiExec.exe /X{25097770-2B1F-49F6-AB9D-1C708B96262A} REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb-!

 

but not luck.

 

I found this error from events log:

 

Product: System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Agent -- Error 25451.Setup found that the Management Group registry configuration is corrupted. Error Code: -2147024894 (The system cannot find the file specified.).

Any idea?

 

Thanks
