** Since Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 shipped with WMF 4.0, fixlet does not need to reference need to uninstall WMF 3.0 in description.

After reboot, fixlet becomes relevant again because WMF 3.0 remains installed.įixlet ID 319156401 - 3191564: Update for Windows Management Framework 5.1 for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 - Windows Server 2012 R2 ** When fixlet is executed against Windows Server 2012, wusa.exe returns exit code 2359303 (0x00240007) for WU_S_ALREADY_UNINSTALLED because the fixlet isn’t for that OS. Install process for WMF 5.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 8.1 does not reference a requirement to uninstall WMF 3.0. ** Per, WMF 3.0 must be uninstalled for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1.  Windows Server 2012 R2 shipped with WMF 4.0  Windows Server 2012 shipped with WMF 3.0 ** WMF 3.0 cannot be uninstalled because it is included with the OS or a newer version came with the OS per ** False positive for Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2 Posting my notes to the forum just in case someone else might find them handy.įixlet ID 250614301 - Uninstall Windows Management Framework 3.0 - Windows 7 SP1 / Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 / Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2 A PMR was opened but didn’t have enough time for all the testing IBM wanted to do on servers in my infrastructure to convince the content team there was an issue. I’ve already worked around these issues with customized versions of these fixlets and have successfully upgraded over 100 Windows Server 2012 non-R2 systems directly from WMF 3.0 to WMF 5.1.

Fixlets assume that WMF 3.0 can be uninstalled from Windows Server 2012 but it comes with the OS. For anyone trying to use BigFix to deploy Windows Management Framework 5.1 to their Windows server infrastructure, please note that the fixlets as currently designed will not upgrade a Windows Server 2012 (non-R2) system.
