You can run a command on a machine. If you can uninstall the software via command line you can also uninstall it with OCS.

hy, you just have to launch a batch script which has the correct command to silently install or uninstall the program. The silent install / uninstall parameters are differnet for each program.

Juist search for silent installation + program name

Install Gimp

start /wait gimp-2.8.22-setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-

uninstall Gimp

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\uninst\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT

i normaly create a batch file  like install.cmd (which ist just a textfile with .cmd extension) with the complete install command.

>>You can also make a batch to remove appx with wmic command

wmic is a very  good for removing many programms, but there is no way to guarantee that no restart is happening. So please be patient

some prgramms are not "seen" by wmic -you can check by executing the following command

wmic product get name,version

hy, i want to recomend this amazing software, which solves the problem that wmic uninstalls tends to rebooting the system (for exampling Libreoffice)

The Solution to Uninstall Software En Masse

It isn't perfect, but you can unistall software without reboot.
Problem is that cpu-z or 7-zip ask for uninstall confirmation.
but i am sure this can be changed in the script.
usage
cscript.exe Uninstall-Software.vbs /product:"Adobe Reader" /uninstall
Kind regards
