Uninstall Software

[Country73 6]

I'm looking at throwing together a tidy little package to remove SMS, Rename a Workstation then reinstall SMS.

All of this to be done remotely.

I'm currently running this whole process through two VBScripts and the SMS GUI - CCRgen.

I can replicate the VBScript for Renaming the Workstation, but stuck on replicating the script for removing SMS.

Basically I plan on my AutoIT script to wait until SMS has been removed, then kickoff the rename, then kickoff SMS reinstall before going to next machine.

Plan to set it up to run off of a supplied list of machines (old names - new names) or have the ability to supply the old/new names manually.

Any assistance/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

VBScript for removing SMS.

strComputer = InputBox("Enter Machine Name")
strApplicationName = "SMS Advanced Client"

Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
 
Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * From Win32_Product where Name = '" & strApplicationName & "'")

    For Each objSoftware in colSoftware

        If objSoftware.Name = strApplicationName Then
            ApplicationFound = True
            MsgBox "Removing The " & strApplicationName & " From " & UCase(strComputer)

            objSoftware.Uninstall()

            MsgBox "Done"

        End If

    Next
    
Set colSoftware = NOTHING
Set objWMIService = NOTHING
Set wshShell = NOTHING

If ApplicationFound <> True Then MsgBox strApplicationName & " Is Not Installed On "  & UCase(strComputer)

Script for Renaming Workstation.

SET oShell = CREATEOBJECT("Wscript.Shell")

oShell.CurrentDirectory = "W:\ScriptTools"

sAccount = INPUTBOX("Which Account to use?", "Account Name", "")
sPass = INPUTBOX("Supply password for account:","PASSWORD","")
sOldComputer = INPUTBOX("OLD Machine Name","OLD","")
sNewComputer = INPUTBOX("NEW Machine Name:","NEW","")

Return = oShell.Run("netdom renamecomputer " & sOldComputer & " /NewName:" & sNewComputer & " /UserD:" & sAccount & " /PasswordD:" & sPass & " /Force",1,TRUE)

If Return = 0 Then
    MsgBox "Success!" & VBCR & Return
Else
    MsgBox "FAILURE!!" & VBCR & Return
End If

SET oShell = NOTHING

vbscript can be replicated within AutoIt using ObjCreate methods... but you could also enumerate through HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\... , DisplayNames to find "SMS Advanced Client" and run it's UninstallString

But it seems more intuitive to your experience to just convert it to AutoIt's ObjCreate syntax.

Believe that's what I was looking for.

Used to script with VBScript all the time, but the AutoIT bug has got a firm hold on me now!

Trying to do as mush scripting through straight AutoIT, and revamping my old scripts into AutoIT.

Thanks for the point in the right direction.

Hopefully I can stumble my way through this and add to my personal knowledge base!
