Uninstalling Flash Player with GPO

[stevenlopez89]

Is there a way to uninstall flash using a GPO?

I know i can uninstall programs but flash would have to be a WMI.

Is this something that is possible to achieve?

We are in a windows enviroment running win 7 and our AD is 2012r2

you can write a script to run the Flash Player uninstaller in silent mode:

uninstall_flash_player.exe -silent

If Flash Player is in use (or loaded in an open browser), the uninstall will fail silently.  You may want to do this at start-up before the user opens any programs.

There are numerous topics on uninstalling Flash Player using GPO on the forums that may be of help.  Just search for Flash Player GPO, or similar, in the search field in the upper right:

The Flash Player Admin Guide also may be of assistance.
