Uninstalling software from all computers in a domain..

[Jordan!]

I know this is very easy if the workstations are on Vista or Higher with Server 2008+ but we have XP machines and it's not so easy.. or is it?

Anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance!

You should be able to uninstall using a GPO if the machines are XP SP3 and the installer is a MSI package.

You could also modify your login script to uninstall the MSI silently. If the installer isn't an MSI it would require some scripting to remove it.

Be sure to test whatever you choose to do on a small test bed before attempting the entire domain.

I've got a nice little vbs script that we're going to run. Worked like a charm.

Option explicit
Dim oShell
set oShell= Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "RunAs /noprofile /userOMAIN\ADMINUSER ""c:\Program Files\ClamWin\unins000.exe /SILENT"""
WScript.Sleep 100
oShell.Sendkeys "PASSWORD~"
Wscript.Quit
