Office 2010 removal for 2016

[sloughman]

Hello

 

This week I uninstalled Office 2010 on two PCs, using the Microsoft Office Removal tool reporting it successful. I then deployed Office 2016 all good. However the PC continues to pick up just 5 Windows Office 2010 updates dated last May, nothing from earlier or more recent, strange. It seemingly installs them, (from the list of installed updates) although when it shows installing updates it doesn't actually progress through them one at a time as it normally does. (all Office 2016 updates installed fine). But then immediately says the same five updates need installing...aaagh! Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can stop this happening, or am I going to have to just re-image afresh to deploy 2016

I have WSUS set up which works fine.

 

Thanks

I would take the opportunity to update your image with the new Office as it tends to get its tentacles into everything and doesn't go quietly.

Did you use the Office Scrub scripts?

Yes the Office Removal tool (scrub) is what I used, although I used it in auto mode not manual. I think I'm just going to re-image....

I used a slightly modified version of these scripts to do the same thing over the summer, had no issues with Office 2010 remaining.

 

Might help if you've still got more to do: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/odsupport/2014/11/03/how-to-uninstall-office-2010-and-move-to-office-2013-click-to-run-or-volume-license/
