Hi I'm trying to remediate the Intel SSA threat. Part of it requires I uninstall "Intel(R) Management Engine Components"

This command does not work if I uninstall it through PDQ. I need to be able to uninstall this remotely for about 30 computers. Does anyone have another way of doing this?

Below is the command it fails to run:

"C:\ProgramData\Intel\Package Cache\{1CEAC85D-2590-4760-800F-8DE5E91F3700}\Setup.exe" -uninstall

  No error code just exceeds the 500 second time out I set for it.

  If you run that command manually on a target does it open any windows? Try adding a "silent" parameter such as -silent, -s, -quiet, or -q.

  This uses the -s switch, give that a try.
