PENDING Uninstall Citrix application on a workstation using SCCM

[jbrntuo]

HI,
Does anyone know how to uninstall Citrix application using SCCM please? Citrix is a .exe application and I have been tasked to uninstall the application from numerous workstations on the network using SCCM instead of manually going from workstation to workstation. This is the first time trying it and I have no clue doing it

Thank you

Look for the silent uninstall option in this registry hive and see if it is silently uninstalling,

Example : setup.exe /silent /uninstall

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Application>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Application>

When you've found the silent parameter, create a package using the Packages model,
Note: Applications model required detection method)

1. Open up System Center Configuration Manager and browse to Software Library -> Overview -> Application Management -> Packages
2. Click on Create Package on the top left corner.
3. Enter a name and check on The package contains source files. Enter the Source folder. Click on Next to continue.
   
   
4. Select the program type and click on Nextto continue
   
   
5. Enter a name and the command line command. In this example, we use a batch file. Change the other settings according to your need. We set Run to Hidden and Program can run to Whether or not a user is logged on.
   
   
6. If you want to restrict the platforms, click on This program can run only on specified platforms and make your selection. Otherwise, click on Nextto continue.
   
   
7. Click on Nextto continue.
   
   
8. Click on Close to finish it.
   
   

Finally deploy to endpoints using device collection.

Hi,
Thanks for the step by instruction you provided. However, I didn't understand the above portion of your message. I was able to follow your directions, created the package and deployed to the workstations but it rather installed the exe application I am trying to uninstall instead . Also, I am not sure where to add (Example : setup.exe /silent /uninstall) in SCCM to get the citrix.exe application uninstalled from the computers. Can you please provide graphical steps for the {setup.exe /silent /uninstall) like you did for the second half of your response? Thank you very much
