Is there a command line you could run at a particular workstation that would
remove the program silently? If so, you could run it on each machine with
PSExec.
Like a variation of the Unwise command or a variation on the MSI command?
Take a look at the command line that is run by the "Uninstall Turbonet" icon
if one exists, or if it is in the Add/Remove programs list, look in the
registry for the uninstall command, and then try variations of that until
you find the right switches for silent un-install. Then script PSExec in a
batch file...

All this is doable via a script, but it'll take you some time to track down
everything you want to get rid of. Use SC.exe to remove services (I
recommend you use SC.exe or NETSVC.exe to stop the services first). Use
REG.exe or REGINI.exe from the resource kit to remove registry entries. Use
standard file calls to the remote system via \\system\c$ to delete files.
Don't forget to remove short cuts in your start menu, and in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
You could also use VBScript by creating a script that does it locally, copy
it to the client and then use WMI to launch it on the client
(objWMIService.Create - look it up on the Technet Script Center). This
would limit you to W2K & XP clients or NT clients with WSH5.6 & WMI 1.5
installed tho.

I need to remove a piece of software (turbonote to be specific) from 46
computers. Does anyone know how to do this remotely so that I don't have to
go to each machine, log in, and remove it manually.
By the way, my md5 integrity checker program will be ready for alpha release
soon. I've got it working well on one machine, just need to do a little
automating, and set it up to do the whole network. Probably be ready in a
week or two in case anyone is interested.
