Microsoft Office 2010 Silent Uninstall

[rroberts]

I am trying to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 via SCCM. I have inconsistently been able to successfully uninstall it a few different ways. The easiest way for me has been simply using the setup.exe. However, this isn't really an option since I have over 400 computers that this will need to be uninstalled from (400Mb going to all these computers is not an option). I've found a Microsoft Fixit that removes Office 2010 very nicely and it is a 2Mb file (can be downloaded here http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9737366). This solution is perfect because of the small file size. When I am am signed in as administrator and run it it uninstalls smoothly. When I deploy it as an application I run into issues. One of the main issues states that I need to "contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic". I've been trying all kinds of variations to this with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Supposedly, this works for 2010 also

I've tried this and I have had no success. I am still unable to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 via SCCM. Any other suggestions that don't involve pushing the massive Office 2010 installation files?

You can try to automate the Office Fixit Removal Tool. This should do the trick.
