Uninstall HP Bloatware
Summary
The script is designed to uninstall all HP bloatware from Windows workstations. It will only be considered unsuccessful if it encounters a failure while attempting to uninstall any of the HP bloatware. In cases where it successfully uninstalls some of the software but encounters issues with others, it will exit the process while logging the list of uninstalled software components.
Note: If the ticketcreationcategory under the globals of the script is set to something other than 0, it will create a ticket listing any individual software uninstallation failures and not only log the information.
Sample Run
Global Variables
| Name | Default | Mandatory | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Output
- Script log

Ticketing
Tickets will be generated only if the TicketCreationCategory value is greater than 0 in global parameters. Make sure to use the correct ticketcreationcategory to direct the tickets to the right board.
