I am looking to automatically remove Novell ZenWork clients previous to 10.0.3.2 as we cannot directly upgrade to the newer versions. We are removing this from 300 machines.
I have been trying to call the uninstaller with GPO on Startup/Shutdown/Logon/Log
This wont allow us to reinstall the newer client, but we can if we use the uninstaller.
Has anyone else found a solution to this?

So if I understand what you're trying to do:
You have 300 machines with the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (ZAA) client version 10.0.3.2 installed and you want to upgrade them to 10.1.x.x and continue using ZCM 10, correct?
Here is a Novell support document that appears it may help:

Well this may not be via a GPO the way you want but it should work. If you can find the uninstall string for the program in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
CurrentVersion\Uninstall
What you can do assuming you have domain admin rights is to create a script and use PSEXEC to silenty unintall the software from the peoples machines.
The command line would be something like psexec \\computername MsiExec.exe /I{programstring} /quiet /norestart
