I am trying to uninstall Office 2016 from our computers using Deploy but it fails every time. One deployment ran overnight for 9 hours.
I created the package from Inventory by right clicking on Microsoft Office Standard 2016 in the application list for the computer and created the package in Deploy.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE16\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" /uninstall STANDARD /dll OSETUP.DLL

Then I added the follow switches:
/silent
/s
/q

I can't find a good set of switches for the command line to know for sure if it is even one of these. I thought it would be on Microsoft's website but I can't find it.

None of these work. It runs until it times out and does not provide an error code or reason as to why it failed. I have been searching online and on this forum for any help and cannot find anything that helps. Has anyone successfully uninstalled Office 2016 from a computer with PDQ Deploy silently?

  We have an Uninstall Microsoft Office 2016 package in the Package Library. Have you tried that?

  Well, somehow I completely overlooked the office packages. Not sure how or why I missed them. Running it now.
