Uninstall script

[Peanut2005]

Hi Everyone,

I've just been tasked with removing our backup agent client software of from 71 random servers, which would require me to logon to each server, add/remove programs and then remove the agent software. After this has been done it requires a reboot. Is there any way that I could script this at all?

Many thanks in advance.

How about this to take care of the uninstall:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Product Where Name = 'Name of software'")

For Each objSoftware in colSoftware
    objSoftware.Uninstall()
Next

I got this off of Microsoft's script archive.
