How to remotely uninstall software from multiple PCs using Active Directory

If these programs were installed via GPO

You can delete them through the same policy. To do this, go to the policy editor, expand the branch of the desired configuration Computer configuration\Policies\Software settings\Software instalation .

We find the necessary software there and make sure that in its properties on the Развертывание (Deployment) tab, the Удалять это приложение, если его использование выходит за рамки, допустимые политикой управления (Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management) checkbox is checked Удалять это приложение, если его использование выходит за рамки, допустимые политикой управления (Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management) . set.

Next, exit the properties, right-click on the All tasks application -> Remove. In the window that opens, select Немедленное удаление этого приложения с компьютеров всех пользователей (Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers) .

If not through GPO

First option:

We find on the target PC registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall there is a list of installed programs on the local machine. And there are directives called UninstallString approximately the MsiExec.exe /I{идентификатор} type: MsiExec.exe /I{идентификатор} is just a command that needs to be executed to remove a specific software. You need to find out these commands for each software that you want to remove, in theory, they do not differ from the same version of software.

The second option:

use built-in uninstallers. They usually lie in C:\Program Files\Имя софта\uninstall.exe but for them you need to look for the "silent start" keys in order to work without dialog boxes.

The third option:

Just google UninstallString for each software. They are often written in the official documentation, as well as on the forums on the topic.

Next you need to write a script that executes the commands found on powershell or vba and hang it on netlogon. Something like this, but with your startup strings:

 Set objWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") On Error Resume Next objWshShell.Run "msiexec.exe /X{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} /qn", 1, True WScript.quit 

Next, put the script file in a readable network folder.

Create a new policy, go to the branch Conputer configuration\Windows settiong\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) and add it there.

We apply the policy to the target computers.
