Roll back Windows Updates deployed via SCCM? Tuesday, May 29, 2012 1:29 PM (permalink)

Is this possible? We're looking at deploying IE9 via SCCM next week, and I was wondering if there was a way to do a mass rollback (or even on a per-machine level) in case anything goes wrong (e.g. a web app used by a specific team doesn't function properly in IE9 and that wasn't noticed in the testing phase).
 
Thanks!

    Anything is possible.
    Is there built-in functionality for uninstalling updates deployed with Software Updates in ConfigMgr? No.
    But that doesn't mean you can't use an empty package with a program that runs the uninstaller. Note that some updates are not "uninstallable" though. To my knowledge, IE9 is uninstallable so it is just a matter identifying the proper command-line to do so which is easy enough to do by doing a quick web search or looking through the subkeys of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
