I deployed Java 8 update 71 using SCUP and SCCM, the older version Java 8 update 66 still remains in the systems. How to removed older version?

Go to Control Panel - Programs and Features, you should have older java listed there, so simply uninstall it.

is there any automated way from WSUS? I need to do the same for 6000 computers
what's WSUS?
figure out how to do it via cmd, then replicate everywhere by the means of domain management (if you have one)

Thank you for the script but Java uninstaller tool can not downloaded, is there any link for offline version of this. I prefer to use java uninstaller tool
"This tool cannot be downloaded and it can run only within the browser."

The downloadable installer package contains the Java verification tool which when run calls the Uninstaller Applet from the Oracle site - I don't think you can do that silently though.
The other clunky way to do it would be to silently uninstall ALL Java via WSUS followed by installation of the planned version. Thinking about it though because the WSUS uninstaller packaging allows you to look for the installer GUID (MSI Version) you could target specific versions to remove in a kind of "IF EXIST" script way. Far from neat but should achieve the same outcome just in a slower way. Once everyone is on the same version though with everything else removed you just uninstall old GUID and install new GUID.
