Remove updates from client machines

If you want to remove previously applied updates (marked as GA) pushed out to client machines for troubleshooting purposes or to clean up disk space, use the Change Current State…Mark as 'Remove' action. The next time the client machine connects to the local provider, it will detect the updates are marked to be removed, and the updates will be uninstalled from the client machine. If an earlier update version was installed, the client machine will roll back to that version.

To remove updates from client machines:

1. Highlight the active (marked as GA) update you want to remove, right-click, and select Change Current State…Mark as 'Remove'. The Current State column icon for the selected update changes to Remove [].

   

2. The next time the client machines connect to the local provider, the selected updates will be removed and the machine will roll back to the earlier update version.
