Need to uninstall Java with SCCM deployment

Question

In my environment, I need to uninstall Java from machines. Multiple versions of Java are installed, but I want to deploy a single script that can uninstall Java regardless of its version. Could you please suggest a PowerShell script to achieve this objective?

Hi, @TechUST

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

To uninstall Java from machines using a PowerShell script, you can utilize the Get-WmiObject cmdlet to find all versions of Java installed on the system and then uninstall them. Below is a sample PowerShell script that achieves this:

# Get all installed Java products
$javaProducts = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Java*" }

# Uninstall each Java product found
foreach ($product in $javaProducts) {
    $product.Uninstall()
}

This script retrieves all installed products whose names start with "Java" and uninstalls each one. You can deploy this script using SCCM to remove Java from the target machines.
