Can I remove DameWare remotely? Or with a GPO?

We are migrating away from Dameware and I'm looking for a process that would help me uninstall the program either remotely or via GPO when a user logs in. Is there anything out there like this?

Thanks!

Have you tried MSIEXEC /X {ProductID}

combine that with PSEXEC and you get remote capabilities

I haven't tried this method.

How would I go about getting the product ID?

You can either extract it from the MSI directly, or search the registry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstaller.

Detailed instructions for both of these methodologies are available from several sources via a web search.

If you have Patch Manager, you can also use the Computer Explorer -> Installed Software tool to just query for it.

Thanks so much for providing that. I'm going to install Dameware on a test machine and just to run the uninstaller. My goal is to create a script when a user logs in, run the MSIEXEC /X {ProductID} command to remove.
