Script needed to Remove all Sun Java
We want to have a script we can deploy from AD to remove all Sun Java versions on a workstation/server. Here is the caveot, we do not want to remove IBM Java.
I've found loads of scripts out there, but nothing that encorporates what I am looking for.
Has anyone run across something like this? Anyone help to point me towards an idea of how to do this from the scripts that are already out on the net?
We plan to remove all Sun Java versions and then install the latest version.

Windows server and WS.
It is needed to meet a requirement outside our control. I do understand they won't be used, but they present security issues.
Thanks!

Well, you can go to control panel and to add or Remove Programs and
post waht Java items you have there. we'll find which are from Sun aand then you can uninstall them

Right, but that ignores the script part of the question all together. This is large scale.
We have had the desired results manually removing this, but it will surely not be an effective way for the entire environment.

I don't think you can do it in general way without at least knowing what versions are installed, especially if they are different, installed across long periods of time. Some versions of java have silent uninstall, some do not have, so, I believe, across different versions it is very difficult to do

There are some scripts out there that on tge net that claim to uninstall all versions. They list most versions, but they are older scripts.
So it is surely possible at least.

They don't make any differences until you start using them
