Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 79
Unattended Uninstall Using the Product GUID
If you do not have the installation DVD or the MSI package available during
an uninstallation, you can use the following command line to uninstall
Dell OpenManage systems management software on managed systems or
management stations running Windows. For these cases, you can use the
package GUIDs to uninstall the product.
For managed systems, use this command:
msiexec.exe /x {54C04D53-C3C3-46EA-A75F-7AFF4BEB727C}
Performing an Unattended Uninstallation of Managed System Software
The Dell OpenManage installer features an unattended uninstallation
procedure. Unattended uninstallation enables you simultaneously to
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 Dell 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, perform the following steps:
1
Configure your ISV distribution software to execute the
msiexec.exe /x DVD
Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\
SysMgmt.msi /qb
command, if you are using the DVD, after the
unattended uninstallation package has been distributed.
2 Use your 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 the uninstallation process.
