Remove LogMeIn from machines at user login
This should be a easy one, I just don't have time to figure it out....
I work for an MSP and we are switching from LogMeIn to ScreenConnect.
I have the following command that will remove LogMeIn (LMI) when run from an Admin command prompt.
"wmic product where name="logmein" call uninstall /nointeractive"
What I would like to have happen is to create a GPO that will run this command and remove LMI from all of the machines that are in the various domains of our users.
We have many customers, so I'd like to keep creating the GPO as simple and straight-forward as possible.
What I'm looking for is some step-by-steps instructions on doing this. Now, if there is another way to automatically remove LMI very quickly and easily for roughly a thousand machines in various companies, I'm all for that as well. Again, step-by-step instructions that are complete.
Just telling me to put the command in a GPO isn't what I'm looking for...I'm looking for the exact location in the GPO to put the necessary command to get this uninstalled.
Most server environments will be Windows Server 2008 and some 2012. No 2003.

I should have clarified....I'm not looking for a 3rd party solution. This will need to be done either by GPO, or logon script.
We're switching from LMI to SC because of the rising costs of LMI. Purchasing a 3rd party program is not an option.
When I said "if there's another way...." I mean using a Windows Server option.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the suggestion. What we wound up doing was using Logitech gaming keyboards where I programmed in the SC install, the LMI uninstall command lines and we went through each one manually. Not fun, but we had to get this done very quickly with no time for testing.
I'll keep the script idea in mind for future cases that will come up.

Thanks for suggestion. Not full steps...reason for grade of B.
Use NinitePro - www.ninite.com - Installs, Audits, Updates (and removes) 113 (at last count I saw) programs, including Ninite - no need to install an agent. Just run it from one system as a domain admin and it can hit all systems (that are on). Script it with a scheduled task to keep hitting things (and while you're at it, keep Acrobat, Flash, Java, etc up to date). Well worth the monthly fee. But offers a short trial as well.
