I highly recommend removing it, there are plenty of vulnerabilities, you can check the CVE database by clicking <a href="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=silverlight" rel="ugc">here</a>.&nbsp;

Silverlight is not supported by Microsoft now either, so if you do have apps using it, other than MECM, talk to the developers and swtich to modern Web 2.<br><br>MECM curent branch (i.e. the latest) has no requirement at all for Silverlight.

Is Silverlight required for MEM 2103 or later versions?  Our security team discovered Silverlight installed on our SCCM servers and view this as a security risk. Is this still used for anything or can it be removed?

Is Silverlight needed for anything on SCCM servers or can it be removed?

Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM, formerly known as Systems Management Server) is Microsoft’s system software for managing large groups of not only Microsoft computers, but those running other operating systems, such as Linux, OS-X, and various mobile technologies.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
