Uninstall Application From Remote Machine Using Power Shell

Admins has to uninstall some application from users machines remotely and some time they has to do this task remotely without informing user may be those application is unlicensed app or unwanted app.

I found the very power shell simple command to remove those applications. 

################################ For Single Apps ###################################

$sAplicationUnInstallation = Get-WmiObject Win32_Product -ComputerName "Host-Name" | where { $_.name -eq "AppName" }

$sAplicationUnInstallation.Uninstall()

#################################################################################

################################ For Multiple Apps #################################


$UnInstallApplication = @(“ORCA”, “ClickShare Launcher”)
foreach($UnInstallApplication1 in $UnInstallApplication){
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -ComputerName "CRP-GDE-W7SCCM"  | Where-Object {
$_.Name -match “$UnInstallApplication1”
}
Write-Host $app
if ($app -ne $Null) {

$app.Uninstall()
}
}

Imp Note:-

This WMI and power shell query will remove application from remote machine . One drawback I found in this command .The application uninstallation  string compulsory follow the guide line .it means if you uninstallation MSI  based

Installer so uninstallation string must be “MsiExec.exe /X{41EAEB83-2C73-4187-AE15-28B317B4E44C}”   if uninstallation string will be “MsiExec.exe /I{41EAEB83-2C73-4187-AE15-28B317B4E44C}” then this command will repair and reinstall the msi It will not uninstall the application. One more info if any application need mandatory reboot so machine will reboot after uninstallation in some case you cannot stop the reboot. Please try on test machines before running on production.

Note:- Please test script in your test environment before running in production directly.
