Mass uninstalling a non-communicating initial client

Premysl_Vresky — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 12:04:28 GMT

Example:

I have 100+ computers that have a non-communicating initial client and a default password secret.
I would like to do a bulk uninstallation using the IBM Tivoli script

Does anyone know how?
Primarily how to write a password entry secret
Thank you

Add UNINST_PASSWORD=secret to the end of command line, like this:

msiexec /x EPS.msi UNINST_PASSWORD=secret

msiexec /x <{ProductCode of the initial client}> /qn UNINST_PASSWORD=secret

ProductCode can be found in EPS.msi->Properties->Details->Comments

For the above product the command line should be:

msiexec /x {0CAD9ED1-D033-4A5C-BF32-9BCD32FB4731} /qn UNINST_PASSWORD=secret

If password contains spaces or special characters it must be taken in quotes.

waithidden MsiExec.exe /x {"{D23F2F0E-8675-44F5-BBE9-58C29CF701C0}}"} /qn UNINST_PASSWORD="secret"
endif
