Can anybody provide some guidance on doing this via script? I am currently trying to remove guest additions version 5.2.2 and there doesnt seem to be any switches available via the uninst.exe (Guest OS = Server 2012 R2 standard)

What switches are you looking for exactly? Isn't simply running "unist.exe" scriptable enough?

Moving to "Windows Guests" from "Linux Hosts".
