A logoff script is likely the only way this is going to
work. Mostly because there is nothing in policy processing that runs at logoff
(other than a logoff script of course and that actually runs outside of policy
processing). One thing you could do, if you don't really need to remove the
whole app, is just remove the "presence" of the app. You could setup the package
so that things like shortcuts, file extension associations and COM ProgIDs are
part of a separate feature and then just remove that feature with an msiexec
command-line call in your logoff script. That way, even though the app is still
installed, the user would have to hunt pretty hard to run it.

Robbie and I chat just about every day.
:-P
Robbie said that that was a section that Alistair
wrote, but that as far as he knew, a logoff script was the only way to do it. I
messed around with it a little bit and found that it's non-obvious, and somewhat
slow, but it surely can be done.
Thanks for following up,
M

Subject: [ActiveDir] install on logon, uninstall on logoff
In Robbie Allen's
book (Active Directory Second Edition) he mentions installing a new package on
logon and then uninstalling that package on logoff using GP. (Chapter 7, page
96, top paragraph on the page.)
Installing on logon
is easy. Uninstalling on logoff - how? A logoff script is the only way I see.
But the book implies another solution...
What am I
missing?
Thanks,
M
