Question

SCCM - Deploy an Uninstallation of an application?

M Tran 491

Hi,

I'm trying to understand this process. I have deployed sysaid agent to a collection called "workstations with sccm client".

There is a large group of computers that I now need to uninstall sysaid agent from. I created a test collection with a few computers. I then excluded the test collection from the main collection "workstations with sccm client".

Then, I right clicked the Sysaid agent in Applications and select Deploy > Action Uninstall

I deployed that to the Test collection.

The result was big red error. In the console, it showed no error messages. In the AppDiscovery.log, I see this

What is the proper way to deploy an uninstallation? Do I need to create another package for this purpose?

Thank you in advance for your time!

Hi, @M Tran

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

The error 0x87d0032a means the uninstall command line is invalid.

We may check whether the uninstall command line is correctly configured for the deployment type of the application. You can configure the uninstall command line by selecting the deployment type of the application, going to the Programs tab, and specifying the command line and any required parameters to uninstall the application.

Hi @AllenLiu-MSFT

Thank you so much for answering. Sorry I forgot to include the screenshot. I originally had this command

That did not work. I changed to using bat file for uninstalling, which did not work either. So, I must always use the product code to uninstall? Let me give that a try.

Thank you @AllenLiu-MSFT

Using the product code works! Thank you so much!

What about products that do not have product code, as in the case of exe files?

Hi, @M Tran

Glad to hear it works now.

As per my experience, we need the product code for the .msi file to uninstall. For .exe file, we do not need it.
