It seems that you are trying to remove the vulnerability of microsoft-msxml-4-obsolete from your Windows Server 2012 R2. According to a source, you can try the following steps to uninstall MSXML 4.0:

2. Click on Programs and Features.
3. Select the MSXML 4.0 SP2 entry.
4. Click on Uninstall.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "MSXML 4.0 SP*"} | ForEach-Object { $_.Uninstall() }

This command should uninstall MSXML 4.0 from your system.
