Is it possible to uninstall just clients and not databases using winbatch

Due to security updates we have chosen to remove all previous versions of Oracle CLIENT, and we currently have a WinBatch script that parses all home locations and then uninstalls the Oracle software from those home directories using the Oracle uninstaller.... yep you can see where this is going, on a PC with Oracle Database installed (IE Devs) their database(s) were uninstalled too DOOOHHHH!!
What I am in need of is a scripted method to parse all home directories (because we all know Devs will just reinstall the client they think they need) and uninstalls just the CLIENTS and not the databases. Is this possible programmatically?

Edited by: 960187 on Sep 19, 2012 3:09 PMThis is a fool's errand. The database home includes the client software. And that is necessary because there are times when the database instance itself has to take the role of a client.
Yes, there can be a separate 'client-only' home that can be fairly easily identified, but that still leaves a client in the db home.
You need to re-think your 'requirement'.

  • TS1717 Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?

    Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?
    I updated iTunes and the installation failed and now I cannot open iTunes.  The fix is to unistall and reinstall iTunes but I don't want to have to redo all of my playlists and things.

    Do not worry all your Data including Playlist, etc. will remain as it is.
    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.
    Note : If you are unable to Remove Apple Mobile Device Support you can skip that.

  • Is it possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to Admins?

    We have a program called Audit Wizard that we used with Windows 2003 that monitored all clients and alerted my department when a program was installed/uininstalled. since upgrading to windows server 2008R2, the program no longer works correctly.
    So we are wondering if it is possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers, running at a 2008R2 forest and domain level) to be able to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to our Admins?
    If so, How?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    As far as I know, group policy can't help us do this. If you are interested, we can take a look at System Center Operation Manager and ask for suggestions in the following SCOM forum.

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps?

    I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps. Thank you

    All you can do is hide them from your purchased list.  You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
    Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space.  The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store.

    You may consider putting the phone in Airplane Mode (Settings -> Airplane Mode or pull up from bottom of screen and tap the airplane icon if on iOS 7), then going to your outbox in Mail and swiping to delete.

  • Can anyone recommend a client and proposal database?

    Can anyone recommend a client and proposal database for the iPad?

    As far as the clients, it should say at the bottom of a finder window how much space is available. If you're wanting to monitor a user's usage as an administrator it'll have it in Server Admin -> Server Settings -> System -> Quota.

    Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
    Using the Database Configuration Assistant
    When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
    Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
    All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle

         minimize the amount of programming required, it often makes sense to use logical databases when generating reports. Reports are special programs that provide selection screens and access databases.  The logical database PNP consists of the database driver SAPDBPNP and is activated using the report attributes. It fulfils three main functions:
         Data retrieval:
    HR data is written for each employee to the main memory, where it can be processed.
         Screening: A selection screen enables you to select employees in accordance with organizational criteria. For example, you can select all of the hourly wage earners of a particular personnel subarea.
         Authorization check: The implicit authorization check is another advantage of the logical database. Personnel data is frequently confidential and it does not make sense to allow all programs carry out the authorization check.
