How to silently uninstall SCOM 2007 R2 Agent
We're trying to uninstall SCOM 2007 R2 Agent of a group of computers through SCCM. We want to silently uninstall it. We found in technet that this command works for uninstall (and it actually does): %windir%\System32\msiexec.exe /x Path\MomAgent.msi /qb But then if we tried changing something for /quiet or /qn it won't work... if you check at the task manager the msiexec appears but then in less than a second it goes away. Is there any way to silently uninstall these agents through command prompt window so that we can deploy the uninstall with SCCM? Thanks

how about this? msiexec /x {25097770-2B1F-49F6-AB9D-1C708B96262A} /qn /L*v c:\log.txt or msiexec /x {25097770-2B1F-49F6-AB9D-1C708B96262A} /qn

Already tried those two... Not working either... Msiexec shows up but then it fades away immediately. I go and check the programs installed and SCOM Agent 2007 R2 is still there.
