How to uninstall applications in SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
We have installed following applications using "Applications" mode of SCCM 2012 R2.
XML Notepad
Notepad++
Adobe Reader XI
How do we uninstall these applications from clients using SCCM 2012 R2? Do we create deployment type for each and uninstall?

You can configure an install and uninstall command line for each deployment type. Then there are 'install' and 'uninstall' deployments. Uninstall deployments can be used to uninstall software. Keep in mind that an install deployments wins over an uninstall
deployment if both are deployed to the same machine.

  • Error While exporting an application in SCCM 2012

    Hello,
    While exporting an application in SCCM 2012, getting this error !
    "The Export application wizard completed with errors"
    Error: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
    Any help around it will be greatly appreciated !
    Thank You.

    The problem is in the error message
    Error:
    The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
    Reduce the path to where you are storing the export. As Jörgen suggest hang the export off the root of
    the drive eg: C:\Export. 
    What's the name of your application? Is this long as well?
    Cheers

  • I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens.

    Hi,
    I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens. The reason you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...
    I don't agree and I have not Heard this Before, just that you use TS for some scenario.
    Or is it more likely that "Terminal Services(RDS)", take over the applikation administration?
    /SaiTech

    Surely this all depends on your environment. There's nothing wrong with creating RemoteApps to push to client devices. Maybe you have an environment where RDS is widely used. 
    Why not leverage both solutions and target App-V's at RDS servers and then create App-V based RemoteApps that users can run at home as part of a home working solution via RDWeb.
    Creating apps via RDS will be an admin overhead yes but then so is creating App-V packages in SCCM.
    I don't agree with the arguement re: 'you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...' as
    App-V allows you to run on multple O/S types. 
    To be honest both technologies have their pros and cons.

  • How to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?

    Can anybody show me how to uninstall applications I installed from Application store?
    I mean I want to remove the applications completely from my iphone, not just hide the icons.

    Page 127 of the manual:
    "You can delete applications you’ve installed from the App Store. If you delete an
    application, data associated with the application will no longer be available to iPhone,
    even if you reinstall the application.
    You can reinstall any application and any associated data from your iTunes library
    as long as you backed up the application by syncing to your computer. If you try to
    delete an application that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.
    Delete an App Store application:
    1 Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to
    wiggle.
    2 Tap the “x” in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    3 Tap Delete, then press the Home button to save your arrangement."

  • How to uninstall application in mac?

    how to uninstall application in mac?

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind 4.9, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper 2.0.1
    AppDelete 3.2.6
    Automaton 1.50
    Hazel
    AppCleaner 2.1.0
    CleanApp
    iTrash 1.8.2
    Amnesia
    Uninstaller 1.15.1
    Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

  • HT1270 how to uninstall application

    how to uninstall application?

    You can just drag it to the Trash, if it doesn't come with an uninstaller. If it comes with an uninstaller, use that. I also use a little app called AppDelete to get rid of auxiliary files that may be left behin by simply dragging an app to the Trash. There is a 'free' version called AppCleaner. Some people use these apps, some are vehemently opposed to using such apps - I've never had any trouble.

    Not only will it delete the app, but all of the associated files. Just dragging the app to the trash does not do that.

  • Need instructions to create application in SCCM 2012 for Captivate 8

    I need instructions for creating an application in SCCM 2012 for the latest versino of Captivate.  I found instructions for the prior version but unsure if these apply.  The instructions state to create a package, not application.  Is it possible to create the application, and are there any special instructions I should know about?
    Thanks

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • Application uninstall bug of SCCM 2012 R2 with Cu2?

    I install SCCM 2012 R2, then Update to CU1, last moth I had updated to CU2
    I create two deployment type for winzip application.
    It is 'available' and not 'required'.
    Use script installer, it contains mst file. the script is vbs
    One is for x64, the other is for x86. all of them contains uninstall program(msiexec /x {code} /q)
    Install is ok
    But the uninstall button is grayed out.
    When I delete x86 deployment type then can uninstall this application
    It seem if it has more than one of deployment type, the uninstall button is grayed out
    I saw CU1 had fixed this bug, but why I met it again?  It is new bug of SCCM 2012 R2 CU2?
    I find R2 CU1 and R2 CU2 client update package in SCCM.
    Do I need to deploy them to all PC?
    If I use sccm OSD to install OS(Use default Configuration Manager Client Package）, If I need to update Client in this client？

    Thanks, Narcoticoo & Torsten
    I also do the test, it is because I didn't push the update to client, I have some new questions about Update CU

  • Deploying Applications with SCCM 2012 R2 to Server 2008 R2 RDS servers

    I'm having some trouble finding some concrete information from Microsoft regarding the deployment of applications to RDS servers using SCCM 2012 R2. There seems to be a lot of conjecture, old information and old wives tales floating around and I was hoping
    I could get some information confirmed!
    1. MSI installs automatically switch to install mode on RDS servers? 
    I've seen this mentioned a few times. I've also seen it mentioned that it is only true when running the MSI from the console session manually (i.e clicking the MSI file) not running as SYSTEM as SCCM would usually do. Can someone confirm if they do this
    themselves or not?
    2. Users still logged in when deploying applications? 
    Is it possible to deploy an application while users are still logged in? Is this only related to going into 'install' mode and taking the chance that a user will do something that will cause issues? Or is it known to cause issues?
    I guess those are the main ones, I'm experienced in SCCM but not with deploying to RDS servers, I cant seem to find any straight answers!
    Anyway, thanks in advance!

    I've never had large enough RDS environment to use SCCM for app push, but from my experience in managing 2012/R2 RDS and local installs, I never bother with switching to install mode anymore and it works fine.  Now if you're skeptical, you can
    easily build this into a script that runs as a pre-req to your .MSI as part of the software package in SCCM so it's not a big deal.
    As for installing apps while users are logged in, shouldn't be a problem if you're installing a new app., if however you're updating an existing application or uninstalling it, then it may be best to drain that RDS host first of all user sessions then do
    the work just to be safe.  this also helps avoid reboots.

  • Deploying CC Enterprise Applications With SCCM 2012

    Hi all,
    We are using CC Packager to package up individual applications (Photoshop, InDesign etc) and are having trouble deploying the applications once packaged. To deploy, we are using SCCM 2012 and are deploying to Windows 7 x64 clients. It appears that the install begins on the client, then hangs, never to finish.
    We are running the MSI with the REBOOT=ReallySuppress and MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable commands, but with no luck.
    This has us really stumped. The applications seem to package fine, yet just won't install. If we manually run the installer, we can see it begin installing, then the progress bar goes backwards and the installation ends without displaying any sort of message.
    Also, as an FYI, we have followed this guide closely in our attempts: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/deploying-packages-sccm.html
    Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance.
    Ryan

    Windows 7 x64 Clients
    Deploying with SCCM 2012
    I have called Adobe before and was told that the application package needs to be on a local drive on the computer. The package cannot be installed if the package is sitting on the network. My installation for a adobe creative cloud  package fails to install when I try to install the application from the software center. At some moment the installation searches to ensure it is on a local disk. Not sure how this happends. If you place the installation package on a drive on your computer the package will install, although it will take time depending on how many applications you have packaged.
    Another problem that you might have is having users log out of the applications without admin previlages.
    I have yet to find a solution for these two problems, I could really use some help from someone who has sucessfully deployed a creative cloud package to a user.
    Thank you

  • Problem with uninstalling Office 2013 SCCM 2012 R2

    Hi, I am in a process of learning SCCM 2012 R2. Currently I am focused on application management so I started by deploying Office 2013 to test collection with only one member - direct rule membership by computer name. Deployment process finished without
    any problems - I kicked off installation from Software Center on client machine. Having installed Office 2013 I tried to uninstall it but I got an error: Setup can't find or validate an installation file. Please try reinstalling . . . . In SCCM server I entered:
    setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config .\ProPlus.ww\Uninstall.xml
    in uninstall program line. Uninstall.xml file is nothing special:
    <Configuration Product=”ProPlus”>
    <Display Level=”basic” CompletionNotice=”yes” SuppressModal=”yes” AcceptEula=”yes” />
    </Configuration>
    I tried to uninstall Office 2013 from cmd line but I got the same error. I can manually uninstall Office 2013 by running setup.exe file and following wizard but that does not mean anything to me except it proves installation files are not corrupted. Office
    2013 installation .iso file is downloaded from MS Volume Licensing Service Center.

    In SCCM server I entered: setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config .\ProPlus.ww\Uninstall.xml
    in uninstall program line.
    I've responded in your other thread:

    Hi, your command-line is not valid - you are using a "relative" path for the <config.xml> and that is not supported..
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_config
    Note: You must use a fully qualified path. Setup does not recognize relative paths with /config. 
    Instead, I suggest that you copy your "Uninstall.xml" file to the same folder where setup.exe exists, then, adjust your command-line like this:
    setup /uninstall ProPlus /config Uninstall.xml

  • How can I remove the SCCM 2012 client and reinstall SCCM 2007 client on all of our computers

    Hello All
    We have  bit of a problem. Our virtual SCCM 2012 r2 server was deleted and the back solution we had in place keeps failing.
    We do have our sccm 2007 server still in place but its only role was imaging as we transferred roles from one to another.
    My question is now our support needs to remote into pcs but cant because the CM12 server is gone. How can I remove the 2012 client from all of our companies computers and reinstall the CM07 client so we can remote into computers again.
    Thanks in advance!
    Phil
    Phil Balderos

    Run a ccmsetup /uninstall on the clients. You may need to run via PSExec. Then push out the SCCM 2007 client via the 2k7 console.
    Cheers
    Paul | sccmentor.wordpress.com
    Thanks Paul!
    I have to do this on over 350 computers and 110 servers. How can I do it on a more massive scale?
    Phil Balderos
    I would check Torsten's approach first and see if the ccmsetup will uninstall the 2012 version. I'm not sure. Obviously the other way round is fine.
    Using PSexec you can script this to call up a txt file of all your servers/computers and run the uninstall.
    e.g. 
    for /f "tokens=*" %a in (computers.txt) do psexec \\%a %WINDIR%\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall 
    If your account has privileges on all devices you won't need to add in any username/password credentials. Obviously only devices that are switched on and you have access to will run this.

  • Error while Creating Prestage Content File for Application in SCCM 2012

    Hi All,
    I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Win 2K8 SP R2 box. Database is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. I have trying to create Prestaged content for Applications for extracting pkgx files on DP's. I am getting the below error message for random applications(not for all applications
    but for random applications).
    Content that will be included into the prestaged content file (1):
    Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55
    Export all dependencies: 'Yes'
    Selected distribution points: 'MPSERVER.GS.WORLD.PRESS.COM'
    Prestaged content file: 'G:\pkgxfiles\Application\Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55.pkgx'
    　Error: Distribution is currently in progress for selected packages: HM0000D9. Please wait and try again
    But if I see this application is successfully distributed to 2 of the distributions points long ago. If I reupdate the Distribution point and then again try to create prestaged content for this application then pkgx file for that application is getting
    created.
    Why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
    Thanks & Regards Uttam
