Uninstall Microsoft Software Update deployed with SCCM

I recently had to uninstall a Software Update deployed by SCCM 2012 on a Windows 10 client. Before when running SCCM 2007 i used to run WUSA with the following syntax:

wusa.exe / uninstall / kb: <KBnumber> /quiet /norestart

This didnt work with the /quiet parameter so instead i had to use DISM as i need to be able to uninstall it silently.

DISM takes the packageName of the Software Update as input which can be found by running the following command on a client which have the Software Update installed:

dism /online /get-packages /format:table

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10586.0

It might require a reboot for the update to be fully removed.

Edit Registry on a mounted WIM

This guide assumes that ImageX is avaliable on your computer. (Avaliable via Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

Mount the WIM file

Mount the WIM file to a local folder using ImageX. C:\ImageX>imagex /mountrw install.wim 1 c:\mount

Load the registry hive

Load the registry hive you need. In this case let’s mount HKLM\Software.

C:\mount reg load HKLM\test c:\mount\windows\system32\config\software

Open Regedit to make changes or use Reg Add from the command line.

Unload the reg hive

C:\Windows\system32 reg unload HKLM\test

Unmount the image

C:\ImageX>imagex /unmount /commit c:\mount

Capture image using ImageX

When doing the capture you should have booted into WinPE. You can place the wim file on a remote file share aswell as locally. To use a remote file share map it as a network drive when booted into WinPE.

imagex /capture c: t:\my-windows-partition.wim “My Windows partition”

The following commandline parameters can be added to the above

/compress [maximum | fast | none] : Specifies the type of compression used for the initial capture operation

/check : Checks the integrity of the .wim file. If not provided, existing checks are removed.

Update WinPE Boot image driver

When adding a driver to WinPE make sure that you choose Windows Vista drivers since WinPE is based on Windows Vista.

Intels WinPE/Windows Vista drivers are found in the PRO1000\Win32\NDIS61 folder after having extracted the drivers from ie. PROWin32.exe downloaded from Intel

For bonus info the extract command on the PROWin32.exe is /f “destination”.
