Unattended uninstall using the product GUID

If you do not have the installation DVD or the MSI package available during an uninstallation, use the

package GUIDs in the command line to uninstall systems management software on managed systems or

management stations running Windows operating system.

For managed systems, use:

• 32–bit msiexec.exe /x {1A2D3405-063B-49BD-BED1-B25AF2AA4A2D}

• 64–bit msiexec.exe /x {6866082D-3589-4E90-9414-296D2BA86F94}

Unattended Uninstallation Of Managed System Software

The systems management installer features an unattended uninstallation procedure. Unattended

uninstallation enables you to simultaneously uninstall managed systems software from multiple systems.

The unattended uninstallation package is distributed to the remote systems using a software distribution

tool from an ISV. When the package is distributed, the uninstallation script executes to uninstall the

software.

Distributing The Unattended Uninstallation Package

The Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD is pre‑configured to act as the unattended

uninstallation package. To distribute the package to one or more systems:

1. Configure the ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /x DVD Drive\<32–bit or

64–bit MSI path on the DVD>/qb command, if you are using the DVD, after the unattended

uninstallation package has been distributed.

2. Use the ISV distribution software to distribute the typical unattended uninstallation package to the

remote systems.

The program executes to uninstall managed systems software on each remote system.

3. Reboot each remote system to complete uninstallation.

Unattended Uninstall Command Line Settings

The Command Line Settings for MSI Installer table shows the unattended uninstall command line settings

available for unattended uninstallation. Type the optional settings on the command line after

msiexec.exe /x <SysMgmt or SysMgmtx64>.msi with a space between each setting.

For example, running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qb runs the unattended uninstallation, and

displays the unattended uninstallation status while it is running.

Running msiexec.exe /x <SysMgmt or SysMgmtx64>.msi /qn runs the unattended uninstallation,

but silently (without displaying messages.)
