Cannot Uninstall SCCM Client

I've seen this come up on older posts but it never gets a far as a solution that work for me. so here goes....
I have several machines which are only showing two actions and not acknowledging that packages are being advertised to them and the repair within the client is not correcting the issue or is unavaible(greyed out).
I'm trying to uninstall the client, so i can push a fresh install, using 'ccmsetup /uninstall' which in normal situations works for me but on these machines that are only showing two actions the client isnt uninstalling infact the uninstall doesnt seem to
do anything...
the ccmsetup.log isn't showing that i've done anything at all... in fact there are no entries for over a week which is when the system was originally imaged using SCCM.
I have also tried the 'client.msi /uninstall' but it is throwing an error... 'This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor............................'
Thoughts?
Not read below maybe it has already been answered, this sounded a lot like using an older version of CCMSETUP to uninstall with ... I've had this in the past where CCMSETUP from 2.50 (SMS2003) was being used to uninstall the 4.00 (ConfigMgr) Client. Maybe
clean your CCMSETUP out and replace with the copy from the Site server ...
You could go all out and nuke it with CCMCLEAN /ALL, although it is unsupported it does work (SMS2003 Toolkit tool) and is used daily by us ConfigMgr admins :-) (Maybe not daily for me, but for some maybe ... !)

SCCM 2012 - Cannot install SCCM Client to workstation

Hi
I have installed SCCM2012 and I'm trying to push out the SCCM client to workstations, but it's keep failing...
I have setup discovery towards AD so all workstation is in SCCM console under Devices, but no SCCM client is installed on any workstations. I right click a workstation and select "install client" but nothing happens, no ccmsetup folder is ever
created in c:\windows folder.
I then checked the ccm.log on the SCCM server and found this:
I don't understand whats wrong. Can anybody help?
I checked WMI using the wbemtest, it works fine. I tested from the SCCM server and another workstation. No problems.
BITS is enabled.
No firewall is installed on workstation.
The workstation is completely new installed.

Hi,
The error translates to "A security package specific error occurred." what if you try and install the client manually on the workstation? any errors then?
Client Push has a lot of dependencies, that is why I prefer to use Jason Sandys startup script instead to deploy the client.

Cannot uninstall Essbase Client in EPM

Hi all,
My own laptop is with win7 64bit system, and I try to install the SmartView and Essbase Client (Add-in) today, but unfortunately I installed the 32bit client by mistake (SmartView seems not this problem), so the Add-in cannot take effect in my Excel. And then I try to uninstall it and re-install the 64bit client, but, the first time, there is an error "JRE not found", sth like that, so I search the solution in the internet, the proposed solution is to copy the JRE folder from anotehr environment, so I found one in Version 1.5 to solve this problem. And then the second problem occured, the initializing process run endlessly and cannot see the next step after I select the products to uninstall, I don't know how to solve it, seems there're some similar cases in the internet but no replies I can find. Who can help give some solution? Thanks very much.
Another problem is, the Smartview menu appeared in my office, but I can't manage the data source management because I can't see anything in the panel, can also anyone give some help?
Thanks

Are you only requiring the excel addin, if so you don't need to install the client you can install the standalone excel addin, it is available from :- http://download.oracle.com/otn/hyperion/1112/Essbase-ExcelAddin-11120.zip

Previously blocked client computers - now cannot install SCCM 2012 R2 client

Hello,
I have a Primary Site on SCCM 2012 R2. New installation of 2012 R2, not upgrade from SCCM 2007. My environment is pretty small for now, having added just few dept computers in the company.
We are using SCCM for Endpoint Security antivirus deployment. Some time ago I had not configured the Discovery methods correctly and the scep client started to install on few machines on which it was not supposed to be installed. I removed the clients then
(both remote and local uninstallation) but since the sccm client was getinng installed again - I had to Block these few machines. Now the problem is that I cannot install the scep client on these computers that have previously been blocked. I am sure the previous
block is the reason because these are about 6-7 machines and only they do not install. All others do install scep client. The installation process goes smooth on these problematic machines, ccmsetup folder gets created in C:\Windows, I follow the ccmsetup.log
and it says " <![LOG[CcmSetup is exiting with return code 0]LOG]!><time="12:33:56.415-180" date="10-08-2014" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="1" thread="3992"
file="ccmsetup.cpp:10875"> " at the end of the log which is what it is supposed to show when installation goes ok, then Ccmexec.exe process continues running but folder Microsoft Security Client in C:\Program Files never gets
created and no scep client gets installed.
I tried deleting the computers from the sccm console and discovering them anew - did not help. Tried even renaming the comp locally, after having it deleted from sccm console, then adding it anew hoping sccm will regard it as a new resource-again no good.
All these computers have the Approve, Block and Unblock buttons greyed out/inactive in console.
Has anyone had this same problem? Any ideas what can be done. Thank you.
Regards,
Hristo

Hi,
were you ever able to fix this?
I'm running in a similar issue here.
One single client was blocked, then deleted, lateron recreated (imported manually name and MAC address).
Now the client is unable to register itself in SCCM 2012 R2 (no CU yet).
Tried the usual stuff: uninstalled SCCM client, remove the entries of CCMsetup and SMS from registry, deleted the SMS certs from the computer personal
store and deleted the smscfg.ini from C:\Windows. Then re-installed the SCCM client
Client logs look fine, except ClientIDManagerStartup.log:

SCCM client uninstall from the SCCM console

Hi All,
Would it be possible to uninstall the SCCM client already installed on a workstation via the SCCM console?
Or the only method would be via ccmsetup /uninstall ?
Thanks.

Hi,
You cannot uninstall the client from the console "out of the box". But if you modify the console you can add the feature. You can get the feature from the right click tools - http://www.myitforum.com/myITWiki/SCCMTools.ashx or from the Config Mgr Client Center - http://sourceforge.net/projects/smsclictr

Deinstall SCCM client

Hi,
I have a question re uninstall SCCM client 2012 SP1.
I type ccmsetup.exe /uninstall in a cmd window. There is no uninstallation progress window nor any information. I see that in the C:\Windows\ccmsetup all files and folder immediately disappear and only the log folder and the ccmsetup.exe remain.
I guess this is a good sign. When will the SCCM icon in the control panel disappear? Even after a restart it is still there. I'm missing a clear hint when the SCCM client has been uninstalled.
Thanks,
Edy
Edy from Switzerland

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback so far. There is a client.log file, but I cannot spot any hint. I see this error in the windows event viewer.
Source MSIinstaller - Product Configuration Manager client error 25140 setup was unable to compile file Udateagent.mof.
The error is present a few times. I guess every time I tried to uninstall the client. I also tried the ccmclean.exe from the SMS2003 Toolkit. The program runs fine without any error.
The current state is now that I can still see the configuration manager in system control, system. However in the general tab, there is no information, in the components tab there is no information too. This is the tab which shows the components installed.
Basically the client has no configuration.
I don't really need to uninstall, if I could still make the ccm client work again without re-image the machine
Thanks,

Send state message to SCCM after uninstall of SCCM client

Hi Everyone,
I have a batch file to uninstall the client from PC's, how would I could I send a state message back to SCCM to say the uninstall was successful? Asking because the console doesn't come back with success info, just waiting, and accepted on the program.....as
the client is uninstalled etc.
Currently running a simple ccmsetup.exe /uninstall as below, thanks for any help in advance.
I know there's a Vb script to force any existing messages to be sent, but as the CCM WMI will not exist, there would be nothing to send, right?
And I have to do this for a POF......Is this even possible??I could write to a log file with the name of the computer that just uninstalled, but really wanted to use a report.....or if there's another way to uninstall client and get the info in SCCM then
please let me know, it's been a very long few days..... cheers :)

Don't you think this is a bit of a silly question? The client is what sends state messages therefore what would you expect to "send" the message that the client was removed? Seems about as effective as putting the address on the inside of an
envelope and expecting the post office to just know where to send the mail.

SCCM Client and SCEP Client Uninstall

Hi, I have below questions with regard to the SCCM client software and the SCEP client software.
Does SCCM client uninstallation removes SCEP client as well? If not, how does the Endpoint Protection get the updates after SCCM client is removed? How to remove/uninstall SCEP client?
If the SCCM client uninstallation removes the SCEP client as well (by running ccmsetup.exe /uninstall), how to make it to NOT uninstall the SCEP client?
Thanks.
NM

Yes, your SCEP client should still be able to update.
If you're installing the ConfigMgr client again, and have manage SCEP client enabled in the ConfigMgr client settings, it does more then just adding the update source. It allows you to manage the SCEP client configuration (like scan settings, exclusions,
etc), perform remote actions (like initiating a scan) and report about them.

Sccm client 2012 not uninstalling from cmd window

One of the client computer in my organization having software deployment issue, so i would go for sccm client reinstallation. i have used command prompt to uninstall the client as below.
ccmsetup.exe /uninstall. i don't see any progress in un installation. checked ccmsetup.log log file under C:\windows\ccmsetup folder. but there is no update.
May I know how to uninstall the sccm client.

No. It is not running . I don't see ccmsetup running.. and I don't see configuration manager icon in the control panel, and sms agent host services not showing in the services.msc.
If i try to install ccmsetup.exe , there is no update in the ccmsetup.log file. .
Restarted WMI services but no update.
Maybe I'm missing the obvious but if you don't see the service and the icon, isn't that a good thing? Aka isn't that exactly what you want?

Sccm client v4 wont install and install client v5 - SCCM 2012 R2

Hi, I am coming to the end of a SCCM 2012 R2 client deployment. I have come across 2 machines (so far)that have the SCCM 2007 (v4) client installed, and although the task is set to uninstall from the server the v5 client will not installed. iI have been
using this an as template:
http://eskonr.com/2010/11/sccm-client-installation-troubleshooting-steps-check-list/
I have ran the install seperatelty from the server (boxed ticked - Uninstall existing Config Manager client) - No Install
The ccmsetup folder is created - c$\Windows\ccmsetup, but only has 3 files, no logs folder
Other machines on site has the v5 client
Checked ping from client to server and vice versa (no firewall enabled)
Boundaries/Schema/DNS - ok
Checked all local event logs.
i know you can run the local uninstall command, but as the network is vast i would like to fix to come from the server, rather than having to do this on the client.
Any tips would be great going forward.

SCCM Client entry in SCCM console for new VM with same hostname

HI,
I have Hyper V server with several VM's running with server OS. Recently I have stopped 2 VM's with OS windows server 2008 & 2012 & recreated new VM's with same hostnames & IP addresses. Problem is I am unable to install SCCM client on New VM
as old enrty lies in SCCM consle with client status Active. I tried to uninstall the client from console, But its showing "can not ping".
So is it ok to simply delete this entry from console so new entry will come in front?

Hi,
You can delete the object in the SCCM Admin Console,you can also install the client manually and then they will register again creating a new object with the same name.

WMI issues in VMware based Machine Windows 2008 R2 Servers affecting SCCM Clients

Dear
Brothers,<o:p></o:p>
I came to
an observation particularly in dealing with Windows 2008R2 Servers Vmware Based
Virtual Machines with SCCM Clients.<o:p></o:p>
Observation:<o:p></o:p>
1. Windows
2008R2 Virtual Machine with Vmware Tools installed (Also depending in the
entries of WMI, I supposed). <o:p></o:p>
When the SCCM Server Pushes the client on this Servers, I found out that the SCCM Client
seems to be installed perfectly but when I tried to perform a remote WMI Query
and the response is displayed below (The RPC Server is unavailable).<o:p></o:p>
Now, I know that this kind of issues is something to do about DCOM Configuration
for Remote Access right?
Well, sad to say the settings has been checked, trippled checked actually to make sure it is correct with the correct permissions required and proven correct up to the last settings.
I even compare the settings to those in some Windows Servers with Working WMI Remote Access.
=========
What I have observed is that when we make a VMware Systems and install the
VMware Tools (see picture below) first before installing the
SCCM Client and the issue regarding WMI Remote access issues happens (The RPC Server is unavailable).
I proved it by creating a new VM Machine, then conduct installation in this order
SCCM Client first and then the
VMware Tools by this way so far the WMI Remote access works perfectly.
Now the Question:
Since we have atleast 70 VM Servers in production with this issue, and I proven that the VMware Tools is something to do with this issue, somehow now I need to resolved this in a logical manner.
For some of us who can guide me to resolved the issue without uninstalling the VMware Tools and fixing the WMI settings and let the SCCM Client work.
Regards,

We also have this issue. Nearly all of our terminal servers. I have to run a script to fix the issue and then reboot. It works, but only for a few days and then it starts all over again...
::to fix "not found" wmi error
::to fix .net calls to wmi repository
::to fix "initialization failure" error
net stop winmgmt
c:
cd c:\windows\system32\wbem
rd /S /Q repository

mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof
mofcomp exmgmt.mof
For the Update on this case Microsoft didn't find out direct connection of WMI issue to any contributors, however the clients
from Microsoft and and 3rd party application such as VMware is highly dependent on WMI for its total function.
Things that we have learned:
1. Your script is the primary solution as recommended as well by Microsoft, but this is to restore the WMI to its healthy State.
Is the error gone?
no definitely not.
Note: The WMIDiagnostic tool does not help to isolate at all, not even Microsoft is validating the credibility of its generated Logs from this tool.
2. You need to apply the Hotfixes recommended by Microsoft to eliminate the WMI repository to increase its capacity which contributes to the Service to stall. Deliver the Patches via SCCM or any means of your patch deployment.
3. Don't forget to reboot the Affected Server every Hotfix installation, this seems fix the issue. For 3 months now the usual system who got the WMI issue most of the time is no longer encountering the WMI errors. So far this is the solution, what causes
the issue? according to Microsoft the cause is the absence of the patches.

Uninstall Oracle client 11gR2

We need to install oracle client on a windows 2008 64 bits server.
Because for some of our miscrosoft integration service SSIS packages we have to run 32 bits.
SO I installed Oracle client 11g R2 32 bits for windows on the server.
I found some components are not installed, so I need to uninstall the client and reinstall it.
But by using universal installer, when clicking deinstall it says to run command ... to unintall it. Why...
Then in the directory of deinstall, I double click the deinstall.bat, it runs quickly and I didn't see oracle client is uninstalled.
Then following the instruction on the http://heliosguneserol.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/how-to-remove-oracle-11gr2-on-windows-7, it is windows 7, but I think it is the same.
I download the utility, and run the command, when I run this:
D:\win32_11gR2_deinstall\deinstall>set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\client_1
D:\win32_11gR2_deinstall\deinstall>deinstall -home D:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\client_1
The system cannot find the path specified.
But the path is there in windows direcotry,
what I am doing wrong?
How come 11g client is so hard to uninstall, but 10 g is so easy?
More information may help to trouble shoot:
Prior I download the the standalone version of deinstall , I tried the deinstall tool with the origianal oracle installation.
it gives error when I run the destinall,

Hello,
I found some components are not installed, so I need to uninstall the client and reinstall it.I'd like to know why it was not possible to make a custom installation with OUI and, then select the components you need.
Normally, you can run OUI every time you want so as to add all the necessary components over an existing installation.
For instance you can make a 1st installation with the "runtime" option, then in a 2nd installation add "Oracle ODBC Driver" component.
Else you'll find here the documentation about the deinstall tool:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24187/deinstall.htm#BABHIGFE
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Sharing Primary Site and Secondary Site's SUP WSUS for non-SCCM client use

I was wondering if the WSUS deployed for the SCCM's SUP can also be (re)used for non-SCCM clients.
Our SCCM infrastructure are mainly used to manage Workstations whereas our back-end servers are not deployed with SCCM agents due to overlapping SLAs and responsibilities. However, we would like to take advantage of WSUS's centralized update repository without
each back-end servers initiating connection to the Internet to get their updates.
Is this possible?

No. WSUS servers that are used for SUPs are controlled by ConfigMgr and cannot be used outside ConfigMgr.
