Running Powershell

[Dubs_sccm]

Hello all

 

Running SCCM 1606

Hoping I can get a push in the right direction. I'm looking to uninstall a program on a few hundred PC's.  The package was deployed via SCCM , but the uninstall does not work so I dug up an PS script from online.

 

The following PS Script works just fine if it's ran locally on the clients. 

 

$appVer = Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall  |
    Get-ItemProperty |
        Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match "Some Application" } |
            Select-Object -Property DisplayName, UninstallString

ForEach ($ver in $appVer) {

    If ($ver.UninstallString) {

        $uninst = $ver.UninstallString
        & cmd /c $uninst /u 
    }

}
 

I have created a  package without any source files.

I have created a program with the following command line 

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File \\servername\Applications\application\Uninstall\ps\Uninstall.ps1

Runs with Administrative rights

Runs with UNC name

Whether or not a users is logged on.

 

I deploy to the collection that has this piece of software installed but it never runs on them. I have allowed PowerShell execution on the client settings. I can push other SW to these computers by they way.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

left out some info

First what didn't work when you created the package the first time?

Secondly, your problem is you are trying to run a PowerShell script from a UNC path. The Computer account will NOT have access to that path. Therefore it will fail. Why don't you include the posh script within the package source?

[Dubs_sccm]

The Package source folder is a UNC path that contains the posh script. 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Then the program is the actual posh script. I have tried browsing the the scrips locally , when i deploy I don't get any computers getting this PS script.

,

This program also uninstalls by a simple uninstall.exe /u/ Hell it even uninstalls by creating a batch file and running it from a share on sccm server, but it's getting that batch or powershell to to clients os the biggest pain i am facing. So any advise to how I can get rid of this program would be wonderful.

Dont really care how brutal the method is as long as sccm can do it.

Go back to Basic.

Did you deploy the package to your DP?

Does the Package show up within the CM cache folder?

Does the program run as Local system account?

 

[Dubs_sccm]

It's distributed fine

nothing in cache though, tells me it's not getting far beyond sccm server. 

What logs should I check to help resolve this.

 

thanks again

What does the console say? does it should have it has been deployed to your DPs?
