Massive Application Uninstall

We now have an application that needs to be uninstalled from every machine on
the network. And, unfortunately, we do not have SMS.

We have hundreds of machines all spread out and cant bear the thought of
visiting each one. Does anyone know of a good method for automating this?
Or maybe even a cheap software product.

Thanks in advance!!
 
You could write a script, which when executed at login can run the programs
"uninstall" program, but that's only going to work as good as the uninstall
program that is if it runs in silent mode with a config file with
predetermined answers. If it asks questions during the uninstall then
you're shot as I don't think you'd want your user community to make those
kinds of decisions.
You could also "remote" into each machine and uninstall it, using remote
desktop.

Hi,

1)
Could you please post the registry data in the UninstallString value
for the application under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\


2)
What kind of network is this? Active Directory?
