Need Software ID's For Many Products for Mass Upgrade

[Anonymous]

Hey Everyone,

I am responsible for doing a mass upgrade/standardization of all of our existing licenses. I will be doing the upgrades using Microsoft SCCM. But I first will need to uninstall the pre-existing software.

I can deploy a batch file using multiple instances of msiexec /x {productid} /qn. 

I have a number of productids but want to make sure I have as many as possible.

Is there an aquirable list that I can get from somewhere or someone?

Is there maybe a better way that I can do this? Our users do not have the ability to uninstall it themselves.

We are using a mix of Autocad 11,12 and 13, PDSP,PDSU,IDSP,IDSU,PlantDSU,PlantDSP 11,12 and 13. Plus some other one offs of Map3d

Thanks in Advance
Kev

This is a big task.  I would start here:

I do know that in the 2014 versions of the software, after you create a deployment, there is a SCCM folder that will help you deploy the software in that manner.
