Silverlight continually distributes

Question

Hi All,

I trying to get rid of silverlight as it is unsupported and a security risk.

However, everything I try, it just continues to appear its ugly head!!
Disable remediation through regedit, CCMSetup.exe /skipprereq:silverlight.exe

I'm running endpoint configuration manager 2006.

I assume the client automatically distributes silverlight as part of its remediation process?

Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

In my Configuration Manager version 2006 lab, the Silverlight related files are no longer in the CCM client folder. Please run below commands to verify:
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\cd.latest\SMSSETUP\CLIENT
dir silverlight /s /a /b

Best regards,
Simon

Answer 3

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Cannot see above two pictures, silver and silver2. From the picture silver3, we know that the unwanted application Silverlight is integrated in Configuration Manager client agent. If possible, it's recommended that you find the source file of Configuration Manager client (in my lab, it's C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client) and remove the application Silverlight, and then redistribute the Configuration Manager client package to your DPs and DP groups. Then install a new Configuration Manager client agent to see if the Silverlight is gone. Please do test before apply this to your product environment.

Best regards,
Simon

Answer 4

and remove the application Silverlight

This is unsupported and wouldn't work anyway but will instead cause ccmsetup to fail, i.e., don't do this.

I'm going to ask a dev what the expectation is here as presumably your site started life a long time ago before we removed Silverlight from the product.

Your best course here though is to open a support case.

Answer 5

Yes long time....where would I log a support case? never done this previously...
