Re: Uninstall software from Advanced Client using SMS 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

For example if i wanted to uninstall my antivirus i would try the following
string -

C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program
Files\CA\eTrust\InoculateIT\Uninst.isu" -c"C:\Program
Files\CA\eTrust\InoculateIT\InoSetup.dll"

If i run that from the command line it works fine but when pushing it from
sms nothing happens?
