how to uninstall software from 50 pc's at the same time!!

Hi there,

Is there a way that I can uninstall software from peoples computers upon start up/logon..??  We have 50 pc's and I would like to uninstall MSN Messenger, AVG and a few others.  Would it be a script that would be added to GPO that would do this..?? If so how would I setup this script ans I am bloody useless at doing these!!

Thanks

If the users all have a login script, you could add the unistall commands to the login script.

However, this would not be automatic.  Each user would need to approve the uninstall.

This could be a few batch lines in the login script:

i.e.

c: (user drive c:)
cd \xxxxx
uninstall.exe
...repeat for each program
