Uninstall Netware

[Andy]

I'm trying to write a vb script that will uninstall the Netware client and
IPX from Windows 2000 workstations - then I'll push it out via SMS.

Does anyone know if this is possible. Is there a vb/wsh api to remove
clients and protocols from Windows 2000?

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks for any help
Andy

Hi Andy,

before installing a newer version of the Novell Client I'm using
SetupW2k.exe in the Novell Client installation folder to remove individual
components that I don't need on a Windows Server (and in my case shouldn't
have been installed in the first place):
SetupW2k.exe /u <Component>

for example to remove the NAL NT Service:
SetupW2k.exe /u nw_nal

and to remove the Novell Workstation Manager service replace that last
parameter with nw_wm

Make sure you stop the services first.

I haven't actually tried scripting uninstalling the whole thing but there is
a Novell Client uninstall TID on http://support.novell.com - sorry I don't
know the number, it should be easy to find on Novell's knowledgebase.

that uninstall tid you reference is in the post i made, i was hoping andy
would be smart enough to figure that one out on his own when going to the
url.

Hey Keith, I didn't see your post before I sent mine (there is only 8
minutes time difference between our posts - I don't have my newsreader
refreshing that often).

Not a problem, it is nice to see someone else around here who knows a thing
or two
