Hi, I have followed the steps to remove SCEP from my client machines. SCEP does uninstall, but I get failure reports. I used these steps:

Exit code 259 error code - It means "No more data is available". What's happening here is when you are running the scep uninstall command, the it is spawning another process which actually does the uninstall, resulting in the 259 error.

Program ran past its maximum runtime. It will be orphaned execmgr - This means that ConfigMgr kicked off the installation but it did not finished within the configured period of time.

Workaround - This is not a error code generated by ConfigMgr, it is generated by the product itself. What you can do is you could add 259 as a successful code. Another alternative to adding the 259 result code to the deployment type is to script the install. In the script, trigger the install, wait (sleep) long enough that the spawned process actually completes, and then return the exit code back to SCCM.

thank you Prajwal, which option do suggest as a better one, and how do I implement it?

Thanks Prajwal this post, but I have created the package for Postman application that i am getting this error. in package model we can not add this 259 Result. we can do it only applicatino model only.

Exit 259 means that that setup exceeded the timeout. Check to make sure that you have not prompts within the setup which are blocking the setup completion.

e.g. test the setup using the local system account. https://www.recastsoftware.com/resources/how-to-access-the-local-system-account/
