Is there a way to remove IIS from a server through BigFix?

Hey Alfred,

Do you know how to do it from the command line? If you can find a way to do that, we can help make a straightforward Fixlet/Task.

After some research I found the following:

I can create a answer file (IIS.txt) and run “SYSOCMGR.EXE /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:c:\IIS.txt” from a command prompt. Contents of the answer file are simply:

iis=Off

This is supposed to work, but I have been unsucessful with IIS. I can add/remove Fax Service by replacing “iis=Off” with “Fax=On” or “Fax=Off”. Can the BigFix Guru’s assist? Thank you.
