Execute Frminst.exe Remotely with My Credentials

[bobcrane]

We have close to 1000 PC's that need McAfee and the EPO Orchestrator removed. I have a script to uninstall McAfee Antivirus. However, I find no easy way to remove EPO Orchestrator.

At the local PC you can log in with admin rights and execute:
frminst.exe /forceuninstall /silent.

However, I have not been able to make this work using either a batch file or vbscript. I'll paste below what I tried:


strComputer = InputBox("Name of Computer to Remove Framework")
Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_Process")
errReturn = objWMIService.Create _
("c:\program files\network associate\common framework\frminst.exe /forceuninstall /s", Null, Null, intProcessID)

You could try with psexec from ex-sysinternals now microsoft...

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Processesandthreadsutilities.mspx

It allows to run any application on remote PC (if you have the necessary rights). You can choose the context in with it will run etc. Run psexec /? for the options.

If you have McAfee it could be that psexec is seen as an unwanted program(PUP) this is only on the PC from which you start psxec (not the remote PC's) so it could be you need to exclude it from pups...
