One advantage to using group policy to install MSI based applications is the
ability to automatically uninstall when the GPO no longer applies. However,
your installing via a script, so the install is only tangentially related to
group policy.
At this point, if you want to uninstall the app, you'll have to change the
script to do that instead of install. You can usually find the uninstall
string in the registry of computer that has the app installed. It will
generally look something like this msiexec /u {1234-1234-1234-1234}. Change
the script to check if its installed, and if so, run the uninstall string.

Subject: GPO Question
I have a GPO (computer config) defined that runs a script from the 'netlogon'
folder. The vendor has the vbs script calling an .msi file to install an app,
per their instructions.
Not the way I would've preferred, but I assume it was done that way to allow
for a registry configuration based on 32-bit or 64-bit OS.
I want remove that script and remove the software/app that the script installed.
I found the below, but not sure if this will do what I want.

Just by removing the GPO from the OU doesn't uninstall the app.
