I'd like to uninstall RealVNC from a number of
machines remotely. These were part of a system image that was rolled out
quite some time ago. Unfortunately, re-imaging the machines (they are
laptops) after simply removing the program from the image, is not an
option. Luckily, it's an AD environment - all Windows XP in a Windows 2003
single domain environment. It appears that the RealVNC app was installed
in service mode, and each machine runs the service upon boot. SMS 2003 is
on the network as well, and all of these laptops are SMS clients, but the app
was not rolled out using an SMS package or MSI file.
What's the best way to uninstall such an
application from all these laptops at this point? Startup script?
Something else using SMS perhaps (I'm not TOO familiar with SMS)? I have
some ideas, but would welcome any additional input from others, as I am sure
that there are better ideas and methods out there that I haven't thought of
yet. If uninstallation is going to prove difficult, I can live with just
disabling the service if tha can be done easier than a complete removal of the
app.
