Uninstall all Java JRE
Years ago we scripted the installation of Java successfully on our K1000. Now we need to remove it from all workstations.
How can I uninstall Java using K1000?
I can't find a command-line switch, and the .cfg method doesn't seem to have an uninstall option. I find a bunch of old posts about this but they're convoluted and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this.

just run this one liner:

I'm assuming you mean to run it as an online shell script? Attempts to do so (renaming it .bat instead of .sh) don't remove Java. The script says it's run successfully but Java is still on the target computer. Are there steps I'm missing or should I "run this one liner" in a different manner?
Thank you in advance. We don't have a K1000 admin so this falls to me to try and figure stuff out - I appreciate any help you can offer. - ljg_gencode 3 years ago-
you create a script (online script is a good idea)
There are some variables used. Which ones are avaible can be found under the mario block (the little blue box with the question mark) next to Tasks (required)
Create a new script and Use as Verify Step:
Verify a Directory exists
Fill in: $(KACE_SYS_DIR)
On Success:
Launch a program
Directory $(KACE_SYS_DIR)
file: cmd.exe
check Wait for completion
Parameters: /c wmic product where "name like 'Java'" call uninstall /nointeractive
Now add the systems in question and a time when it needs to run.
After the run of the script a check in needs to be done that the software uninstalls can be seen.
I suggest to review https://support.quest.com/kb/258628/ too for the global topic.

I tinkered with that a bit and got it to work by using this: /c wmic product where "name like 'Java 8%%'" call uninstall
THANK YOU for your help, and with your patience in explaining the solution. :) - ljg_gencode 3 years ago
