Uninstall all version of Java 7 (update 1-11)
I would like to un-install all versions of Java 7 update (1-11) using managed installation on the K1000 and deploying it silently. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestions but I would like to only remove Java 7 update 1-11... I would like to leave Java 6 on the systems. Let me know if the script above can be edited to only remove Java 7 update 1-11 and leave the existing Java 6 on the systems. - rchung 11 years ago
Run this batch file in a Managed Install for Java 7u11. Watch out as you will need to build a couple of lables so you can pull all the machines with Java. Java 7 and Java(TM) 7.

taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe
