Unistall a Windows Update with a vbscript

Hi,

We are using WSUS to deploy our windows updates but there is a update KB976576 that is causing issues with one of our applications.

I have prevented it from being intalled on any further PC's but need to uninstall it from about 120 PC's.

I can't use the removal in WSUS as it is not supported on that Update so I need to create a script that I can deploy with a GPO to uninstall the update if it is installed on a PC.

the Update ID is ac94db3b-e1a8-4e92-9fd0-e86f355e6a44

Please help as this is causing a few issues.

Thanks

OK, on one of those PC go to WINDOWS directory and look for folder name "$NtUninstallKB976576$" If it is available there, you can remove it. Open this folder and go to "spuninst" you will find there spuininst.exe

You can use it in baych or VBS by yourself.

Regards,
Krzysztof
use psexec and run the command:
 
psexec \\* -s-d "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB976576$\spuninst\spuninst.exe" /quiet /passive /f /norestart
