In order to fully uninstall the Screwdrivers driverless printing client, the following steps will need to be taken.
1. Scripted removal
Download this script which can be run manually or deployed via group policy
- http://simsts.scomis.org/ScrewdriversRemover.cmd
- http://simsts.scomis.org/ScrewdriversRemover.cmd.txt
Scomis takes no responsibility for this script so please be sure to test it before using across a number of machines or school network. It will attempt to remove all known versions of the SIMS Terminal Server and Scomis Hosted Applications service icons.
If however you have deployed the Screwdrivers client software across your network via Group Policy, there may be some entries left in the registry that this script is not able to clean up. These entries will relate to the GPO used to roll the software out so Scomis are not able to script the removal of these entries.
If after using the above script to remove Screwdrivers, you are still having issues with re installing the software we would suggest searching the registry for any entries containing “Screwdrivers” and removing them.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Please take appropriate backups before editing the registry.
