One Thing that also got me a Little further was 'setup.exe' /uninstall LYNCENTRY /dll OSETUP.DLL' for uninstalling, but it misses the command for beeing silent, so I still have one window that I have to interact with. for convenience sake, Id like to list things like Word, Excel, Skype for Business, etc.

Uninstalling via Setup.exe manually works w/o any Problems tho. The uninstall behavior comes from ConfigMgr in this instance. Provide the silent switch as follows: setup.exe /configure uninstallSkype. Upload the zip files in the Endpoint Central package. Zip the setup.exe, uninstallSkype.xml and the other downloaded Office files from this folder. The Installation was quite Basic, I just wrote a small configfile and referred to it while installing like: Setup.exe /config config.XML -> doneīut the uninstall part seems to be ways harder, I tried to write another config for this part which Looks like this atm:īut it's always giving me an error that the Installation was damaged and that I should reinstall it. setup.exe /download uninstallSkype.xml Create Software Package in Endpoint Central. If anything, you can create a required package that uninstalls it via msiexec /x /q and push it out.Hey guys, I've been trying to uninstall Skype for Business 2016 silently for the whole day now, but I just can't figure out what the Problem is. By default, Office products should remove older product versions of itself as part of the install process but it's not always 100% effective. It's for Office 2010 but the same principles apply to other standalone Office products, including the admin interface.Īs for removing Communicator 2007, the Lync/SfB install should clear that out but I'd test first just to make sure. Sadly, there's no SfB 2015 base installer from VLSC yet, only Lync 2013 w/ SP1 and the subsequent updates downloaded from WSUS (unless you package them in the updates folder of the installer).įollow this guide on how to deploy Office products through SCCM. They need to be in MSP format which should be extractable from the cumulative update MSUs/EXEs. Your quickest option is to search for the word 'Skype' in all the XML files beneath the 'root' folder which contains the original set-up executable.

Download the standalone installer of the Lync 2013 client or SfB 2016 client from VLSC (which ever you're licensed for) and include all the update files in the updates folder (if Lync 2013). Like the rest of Office, the Product ID for SfB will be in the XML configuration file you used to install it.
