Does it work if you run it manually? Reason I ask is because the wmi query has weird quotes around the query string. Maybe that's just a side effect of pasting into the email though. (was the code originally copied from a web page somewhere?)

I deployed it from ConfigMgr and it never completed so I need to be able to troubleshoot it somehow. <# .Synopsis Finds all Oracle Java products (excluding the auto updater which actually gets uninstalled when the main install is removed). .DESCRIPTION Identifies and uninstalls Oracle's Java software from the local machine using WMI. The query to locate the installed software interogates the WIN32_Products class and includes exclusions to avoid matches to third party software that has "Java" in it's name. Use the -KeepVersion argument to specifiy a version to keep installed on a computer. Use the -Whatif switch to test the result without actually uninstalling anything. The script will return the results of the WMI query as an object array. Credit to commenter on my blog "Carsten" who supplied an expanded list of software to exclude. Note: this script is supplied "as is" and has not been fully tested for all possible scenarios. Use at your own risk and do full testing before using in production. .EXAMPLE Uninstall-Java Uninstalls all versions of Java .EXAMPLE Uninstall-Java -KeepVersion "7.0.45" Uninstalls all Java except version that starts with "7.0.45" #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([int])] Param ( # Specify a version of Java to keep on the copmputer [optional] [Parameter(Mandatory=$false, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$false, Position=0)] [string]$KeepVersion, # Test the result of running the script.
