    Yes, we successfully used PDQ to remove the SCCM client. It was quite some time ago, but if I remember correctly the SCCM client does not show in Add/Remove Programs. However the installer is cached on the local computer and there is a silent uninstall string. It will vary depending on the version of SCCM you are using, but we used the following to uninstall:

    32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall

    64-bit: C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall

    We also had a couple uninstall steps to remove the leftover SCCM directories.  

    rmdir c:\Windows\System32\CCM /S /Q

    rmdir c:\windows\SysWOW64\CCM /S /Q

    Just to note, I think if you remove the CCM folder that the cached installers are removed too, which could cause issues with installed software if they start looking for the original install location.
