Dear Sir,

I would like to uninstall two windows patches for all PC. All PCs joined domain and normal users do not have privilege to install/uninstall software. The following batch file works when the user account logon locally and with local administrators right.

uninstall.bat
@echo off
wusa /uninstall /kb:4012204 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:4012215 /quiet /norestart

I had created a computer group policy at the domain controller 00.cmd (i.e. computer configuration\policies\windows settings\scripts\startup\00.cmd) and call the uninstall.bat . But it's not working.

Any hints and advises for me?

Thank you.

Dear Antzs,

No error at all. Restart and no pop up windows showing.

Dear Shaun,

How to create a ZAP for uninstall the windows package? And I should put it into Computer Configuration or User Configuration? If computer configuration is used, what windows account/credentials it will use?

Thank you.

With regards,
