Any suggestions how to unistall this.

I have removed the WinRMRemoteWMIUsers__ user group and configuration still fails on restart.

System Centre 2012 SP1 Beta requires Powershell 3.0. Rather annoying.

Few user are unable to uninstall the update so this is what worked for me.

in Active directory users and groups > SBSUsers OU.

remove the following group

WinRMRemoteWMIUsers__

Uninstall the update and that should successfully remove the update.

The uninstall also seems to delete this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\ForwardedEvents

and because this key is now missing you will see errors when attempting to view certain event logs.

Come on Microsoft. You've really got to do a better job of vetting these updates before release. Realistically, this never should have see daylight. It brings nothing good to the table and breaks a lot of systems.

Imagine the wasted person hours picking up the pieces after this one. :(

Deleted C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Exchange\RemotePowerShell.

Restarted Powershell - no errors any more.
