Script to silently uninstall Dell Optimizer?
I need some help finding a way to silently remove Dell Optimizer and all its related services from Windows 10/11 workstations as it’s causing too many headaches with docking stations and microphones during MS Teams calls.
I’ve tried the method Dell suggested here, but it’s interactive so that won’t work. I can’t have any prompt as I’m looking to push this to over 1,000 endpoints.
Dell Optimizer Version 4.2.2 User's Guide | Dell US
"Dell-Optimizer_XXXXX_WIN_4.2.1.XXX.0_A00.EXE /passthrough /remove"
Powershell didn’t completely remove it either. It removed some parts but the app was still present in the control panel and start menu.
Lastly, I tried using WMIC but it still installed.
@echo off
wmic product where name="Dell Optimizer" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Dell Optimizer Core" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Dell Core Services" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="DellOptimizerUI" call uninstall /nointeractive
wmic product where name="Dell Optimizer Service" call uninstall /nointeractive
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get this done?
