Removing SCCM from systems

Hi all,

I have a customer that needs us to remove SCCM from their systems. As I understand it, this does not show up in add/remove programs, and I was not able to find an uninstall string in the registry either.

I’m attempting to use the below, but it failed with the error “thread execution failed (2)”. I’ve confirmed that the .exe is most definately there in the directory.

waithidden “C:\windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe” /uninstall

As always, any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

The approach I’ve used in the past has been

waithidden cmd.exe /c "{pathname of windows folder & "\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall"}"

I understand that the thread is a bit dated, but the process of removing SCCM from systems can remain relevant over time. While the specific command you mentioned may have evolved with updates, the general approach often remains similar.
