This collection query will include all machines that have 32-bit or 64-bit Java Installed select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ProductCode like "{26a24ae4-039d-4ca4-87b4-2f832170%" or SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ProductCode like "{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F864170%" We can then uninstall the products using a SCCM create a package to run this script: You may need to add more products depending on other versions that you have installed for Java for me we only had java 7  update 3 , 4 7, 9 ,10 strComputer = "...
