Install Guide
Unattended uninstall using the product GUID
If you do not have the installation image 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 msiexec.exe /x {826996FB-E97F-44BE-BC09-7B2EAFDA739B}
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 software is pre‑congured to act as the unattended uninstallation package. To
distribute the package to one or more systems:
1. Congure the ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /x DVD Drive\<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 <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 <SysMgmtx64>.msi /qn runs the unattended uninstallation, but silently (without displaying
messages.)
