HI Guys

I need help , i need to uninstall SCCM agent on all machine i am new to big fix and unable to get the relevance or the fixlet working

From Installed applications i have found

Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent

and within
Applications and uninstall strings i have Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent, MsiExec.exe /X{6FA0CE18-E1AB-4CA2-B552-03D16516E174}�

Please can some help me

So, you need to remove the application where the Display Name for the Application is “Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent”?

Your Targeting Relevance might look something like …

(Windows of Operating System)

(Exists Keys whose ((Value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase) contains "microsoft system center 2012 r2 dpm protection agent") of key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of Registry)

so that will be done via a fixlet ??

How would i conf the uninstall action …
C:\Windows\CCMSetup\CCMSetup.exe /uninstall

I you are going to remove the same version your fixlet action should contain the Uninstall string:

waithidden MsiExec.exe /X{6FA0CE18-E1AB-4CA2-B552-03D16516E174}
5

Please note that you need to escape the { character by using two of them.

waithidden MsiExec.exe /X{{6FA0CE18-E1AB-4CA2-B552-03D16516E174}

If you don’t do this, the client will attempt to evaluate the GUID as Relevance.

Hi Guys

Thank you for the help, much appreciated…

Theres no systems displaying and from what i read up i think its bcoz of the lowercase classification.

The actual name displayed is Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent, and the name has a mix of lowercase and uppercase – is there a way to do a contains name Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 DPM Protection Agent statement instead of Value …“DisplayName” of it as string as lowercase…

Sure, take out the “as lowercase” clause and make sure that what is between the quotes after the = is exactly what you are looking for.

Another thing to keep in mind … are you working with 32bit or 64bit systems?
Does anyone know if SCCM has a 64bit agent?
