Hello Guys,
i would need some help, with the operation that i've to do these days. I would like to uninstall a program on various computer inside a domain and install a different version. I though about to use pwshell to to this kind of operation
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $True,
ValueFromPipeline = $True,
ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $True)]
[string]$ProductName,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $False,
ValueFromPipeline = $False,
ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $False)]
[string]$MsiName
)
begin {
$WorkingDir = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path | Split-Path -Parent
$SccmClientWmiNamespace = 'root\cimv2\sms'
if ($MsiName) {
$PackageMsiFilePath = "$WorkingDir\$MsiName"
}
}
process {
try {
$Query = "SELECT * FROM SMS_InstalledSoftware WHERE ARPDisplayName LIKE '%$ProductName%'"
Write-Verbose "Querying computer for the existence of $ProductName..."
$InstalledSoftware = Get-WmiObject -Namespace $SccmClientWmiNamespace -Query $Query
if ($InstalledSoftware) {
$InstalledSoftware | foreach {
Write-Verbose "$ProductName ($($_.SoftwareCode)) found installed..."
Write-Verbose "Ensuring there's a valid uninstall string found..."
if ($_.UninstallString.Trim() -match 'msiexec.exe /x{(\{){0,1}[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}(\}){0,1}}') {
Write-Verbose "Valid uninstall string found for $ProductName..."
Write-Verbose "Ensuring a locally cached copy of the $ProductName MSI exists..."
if (Test-Path $_.LocalPackage) {
Write-Verbose "Install package $($_.LocalPackage) exists on the file system. Using locally cached copy for uninstall..."
$UninstallSyntax = "$($_.UninstallString) /qn"
} else {
Write-Verbose "Install package $($_.LocalPackage) not found on file system..."
if (!$PackageMsiFilePath) {
Write-Verbose "No MSIName specified as param. Searching current directory for MSI..."
$LocalMsis = Get-ChildItem $WorkingDir -Filter '*.msi' | Select -first 1
if (!$LocalMsis) {
throw 'No MSIs found to support uninstall'
} else {
$PackageMsiFilePath = $LocalMsis.FullName
}
} elseif (!(Test-Path $PackageMsiFilePath)) {
throw 'Package MSI needed but MSI specified does not exist in current directory'
} else {
##TODO: Check MSI's product name and version to ensure match
#Write-Verbose "Checking $PackageMsiFilePath for matching product name and version..."
#$MsiProperties = Get-Msi $PackageMsiFilePath
#if (($MsiProperties['ProductName'] -notlike '*$ProductName*') -or ($MsiProperties['ProductVersion'] -ne $_.ProductVersion)) {
#
throw 'Package MSI is not the same product as being uninstalled'
#}
}
$UninstallSyntax = "/x `"$PackageMsiFilePath`" /qn"
}
$MsiExecArgs = $UninstallSyntax.ToLower().TrimStart('msiexec.exe ')
Write-Verbose "Beginning uninstall using syntax: msiexec.exe $MsiExecArgs"
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList $MsiExecArgs -Wait -NoNewWindow
} else {
Write-Warning "Invalid uninstall string found for $ProductName..."
}
}
} else {
Write-Warning "$ProductName seems to already be uninstalled"
}
} catch {
Write-Error $_.Exception.Message
}
}
end {
}
The Remove.ps1 works perfectly, but i tried with console change some isntruction in order to get this done
$pipe = 'flr-xxxxx-lx', 'flr-yyyyyy-lx'
$pipe | foreach {.\Remove-Software.ps1 - ProductName 'Adobe Reader'}
However i Get a General Error .
C:\psscripts\Remove-Software.ps1 :
At line:1 char:17
+ $pipe | foreach{.\Remove-Software.ps1 -ProductName 'edoc Capture'}
