remove program by group policy

[Uber22]

Hi all

 

i am trying to remove print audit 6 from all my pcs (150) i have tried to remove it via screenconnect command but it doesnt seem able to procces it.

 

i can run the following command on the pc but it requires me to press yes or no to uninstalling it ( MsiExec.exe /x {B2FDB7E5-722D-4089-9665-07CA1E0A73C6} )

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec /qn /x {B2FDB7E5-722D-4089-9665-07CA1E0A73C6} This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

 

any suggestion thanks

Put the /qn at the end of the command.

msiexec /qn /x {B2FDB7E5-722D-4089-9665-07CA1E0A73C6}

This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

Is this definity the correct MSI product code for Print Audit?

 

If you want to double-check, try running the following PowerShell command on a PC with the software installed.

 

Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | 
Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*Print Audit*" } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, UninstallString

Put the /qn at the end of the command.

It's already there (see line starting with "C:\Windows").

its seem to not like te string {B2FDB7E5-722D-4089-9665-07CA1E0A73C6} "print audit say the string maybe different but the location they have given doesnt have any print audit stuff in.

Had the same issue with an old Vipre install;

 

Find the GUID using the GUI of msizap, then create a script that runs from the msizap folder:

 

To remove a specific application from the Windows PC use the following command line at an elevated Command Prompt:

 

MsiZap.exe tw! {GUID}

 

t Removes all information for the specified product code.

When using this option, enclose the Product Code or Product GUID in curly braces.

This option may be used with either the full path to the .msi file or with the product code.

 

w Removes Windows Installer information for all users.

When this option is not set, only the information for the current user is removed.

Use of this option requires that the user's profile be loaded so that the user's per-user registry hive be available.

 

! Forces a 'yes' response to any prompt.

 

msizap TW {GUID0000-00000-0000}
