I recently had the need to uninstall a ManagementPack from OpsMgr without using the Operators Console (kept getting a exception error every time I opened the console after importing the eXcSoftware Management Pack). Here’s how I did it:

Here’s how I did it:
• On the RMS, open Command Shell.

 
• You’ll need to know the name of the MP, so at the powershell prompt type Get-ManagementPack. If [like me] you have a large number of MP’s installed, you’ll probably want to pipe this into a text file, or expand the Screen Buffer Size to something like 3000, run the command and then [right click and select find to] search.

• Once you have the name we can now uninstall the MP. Start by typing the following:

  $MP = Get-ManagementPack :where-opject {$_.Name -eq ‘eXcSoftware.nonWindows’

  We’ve now set the variable $MP to contain the values for the MP. Now type in:

  uninstall-managementpack -managementpack $mp

• Sadly, there is no confirmation that the MP has been uninstalled. You’ll have to go into the console to confirm.

Thankfully [for me] this did fix my issue. I really must get around to setting up my test OpsMgr environment rather than working live with production.
