How to uninstall manually SCCM client ?

Hello,

I am gettning "No Results" on "Client Check Result" on SCCM console.

I tried to uninstall the CM client from the windows 7 by typing Ccmsetup.exe /uninstall but crashes. See screenshot


Thoughts ? thanks for you

Are any of the services still running when you try to do this? try stopping the SCCM services beforehand if possible

Method 2: Uninstallation using client.msi

You can proceed like the following:

  • Open CMD and go to the same location described in Method 1. Once done, go under the folder using {ID} as naming format ({181D79D7-1115-4D96-8E9B-5833DF92FBB4} for SCCM 2012 clients and {6A438387-0FF9-4620-947E-39470FB1E2E5} for SCCM 2007 ones) and run msiexec /x client.msi

Method 3: Removal using ccmclean.exe

Ccmclean.exe is tool part of SMS 2003 toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18153 ) and can be used for the removal of the client. All you need to do are:

Method 4: Manual removal

It looks like the agent got removed successfully, i rebooted the win 7, i removed it from the sccm discovery, now i do see it on the sccm with no agent yet. I will push it in a few mins.
