Command Line Scripted uninstallation of Surveroy and Version Control Agent -pls help!

Steve Szuster_1 — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 21:36:46 GMT

Hello,

I have a need to completely uninstall Compaq/HP Surveyor utility and the Version Control Agent using command line so the uninstallation process can occur without user interbevention via a batch file.

I have many servers (500+) hence the need to script it. Unlike the Management Agents that have their own installer/uninstaller Surveyor and VSA use Windows Installer so there isn't even a setup/intall file in \Compaq\Surveyor. The Uninstall string located in the registry uses the Product ID which is a variable and is different on every system.

Any tips would be VERY much appreciated!!

Cheers!

For Uninstalling VCA from command line Try the following.

c:\> c:\hp\hpsmh\data\cgi-bin\vcagent\vcaremov.exe /silent c:\hp\hpsmh\data\cgi-bin\vcagent\vcagent.inf
