Can I use SMS to uninstall 3rd party software?
Any suggestions and recomendation would be greatly appreciated.

As SMS can distribute software you are also able to remove SW with it.
We do this once in a while - all you need to know is the exact uninstall-string.

example:
msiexec /x program.msi (removes program)

Hope this helps,
Chris

Thank you for the info. You also can find the string in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\YOUR_PACKAGE\UninstallString
