Issue with pushing SCCM Client 2012 to client machine using SCCM 2012 console

There is an issue when the SCCM 2012 client is pushed using SCCM 2012 console.

Here is the message on the client machine:

GetHttpRequestObjects failed for verb: 'CCM_POST', url: 'HTTPS://  /ccm_system/request'
GetDPLocations failed with error 0x87d00280
Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP 'HTTPS:// '. Error 0x87d00280
Failed to get client version for sending state messages. Error 0x8004100e

Here is the error message reported on SCCM Server:

---> Unable to connect to WMI (root\ccm) on remote machine "", error = 0x8004100e.

Execute query exec [sp_CP_SetLastErrorCode] 2097152001, 0

After trying to push the client again there were new error messages on clients log:

Uninstalling silently SP 2 (Service Pack) for Microsoft Office 2010

Uninstalling line of SP 2 for MS Office 2010 can be found in registry:

Uninstalling string contain:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\Oarpmany.exe" /removereleaseinpatch "{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}" "{DE28B448-32E8-4E8F-84F0-A52B21A49B5B}" "1033" "0"

Applying this string in CMD doesn't provide silent uninstall. Tried separately Oarpmany.exe with help switch doesn't show any silent switches.

Workaround for silent uninstall of SP2 for Office 2010 was to apply the following command:


MsiExec.exe /package {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /uninstall {DE28B448-32E8-4E8F-84F0-A52B21A49B5B} /qn

where {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} is Office 2010 GUID and {DE28B448-32E8-4E8F-84F0-A52B21A49B5B} is SP2 GUID specified in the uninstall string.
