Hi Folks,
Can someone help me to understand Uninstall Software Workflow?
I observed that, when I clicked on Uninstall button from AP it is actually removing an entry of that particular software/application from Software Center. It is not uninstalling an application from Control Panel.
Hi @Ashish Patil​,
The default Uninstall Software Workflow, from the Automation Book SAM Automation for SLM, will remove the object from the identifier.
Object will be either user or computer ad object, depending on the option configured in SLM on the store tab.
Identifier will be an AD group, configured in "identifier" in SLM on the store tab.
It is then expected that this will trigger the removal process of your deployment tool, most common a SCCM collection that is configured against the AD group.
This is the out of the box design, but it can be changed to meet any specific need. Common changes are to add activities that talk directly with SCCM collections, and/or a separate group/identifier for installation and uninstallation groups/collections.
Your descriptions leads me to believe that you have configured the identifier against an AD group that gives the user permission to request the application in Software Center. Uninstalling this application would then remove the user from the AD group and the result would be that it's not available any more in Software Center.
Hope this helps :)

Hi Oskar @Oskar Frölin​,
Yes, correct. When user request application then that application available in Software Center.
My current requirement is, when user request for uninstalling an application then it will remove the user from the AD group. Result would be that it's not available any more is Software Center as well as it will remove/uninstall from Control Panel.
To complete this requirement, do I need to make changes in the application package in SCCM? or Can we make changes in SNOW AP to remove/uninstall from the control panel?
Hi
Just to add, the latest SCCM / Microsoft Endpoint Management Configuration Manager 2107 release has added the functionality to trigger automatic uninstall if computer or user is removed from collection (that could be based on AD group membership). More details here

Use with care :-)
