I wrote this vbscript to remove Patch 1 on remote systems. It does not reboot them, is silent to the user. you need to have access to wmi on the remote system (Should be on by default) and you must have admin rights. Just type the computer name or IP of the system you want to remove it on. The first half of the script checks with a ping that the system is on. If anyone needs this in EXE format I can send or just use WINRAR. Just copy everything between the dashes to a notepad file and save it, then rename the extension from .txt to .vbs
