He pushed out the software by adding the computers and choosing to remote 
install probably.

Offhand I'm not aware of a script to remove the software via a GPO. I'm sure it 
could be done given the time to figure it out. Might be quicker to just use the 
Trend console based on the number of clients.

Subject: Trend Micro Client Outbreak - Need to remove it from Domain ...fast

TIA to any and all replies...

Fell into a situation where a previous employee installed Trend/Micro SMB to a 
test server on the domain. He somehow managed to push out countless client 
installations to various XP and possibly Vista workstations before he got 
canned. Trouble is, this is reeking havoc with the SAV console which is no 
longer able to communicate with most of the managed clients who now may or may 
not have the T/M AV software on them. 

I am at crunch time, having to now clean up this mess, as management wants to 
know who is and is not protected via a properly configured SAV client. Rather 
than manually audit this situation, I would like to find a way to script the 
removal of the T/M product via a GPO. Trying to get this done remotely over 
this weekend as all the PC's are on and there are no users to get in the way of 
the process and required reboots. 

I am not a T/M guru by any means, but looking through the console I can't 
figure out how he managed to push out the clients, nor how to initiate a 
removal of the clients from the system. 

Any initial ideas for scripting this would be greatly appreciated
