Question. Can a policy be created and applied that uses
the AIM uninstaller to remove AOL instant messanger from a
PC when the user logs in? For that matter any program
that has a specefic un-install file associated with it?
Looking to enforce our work policy on software download
and use, and I have some 2nd time offenders I would like
to keep from installing and using the AIM client over my
WAN circuit. Can the above be accomplished with a GPO
calling the AIM uninstaller? Silently?

Thanks!

Sorry, it's not going to be that easy.
The problem is that it won't stop them from reinstalling it everytime they
want to use it, or simply using something else, ICQ, MSN, etc.. You'll
likely need a solution at the firewall.
