Here's our setup.. 1000 machines that are connecting to TWO different platforms.. Novell and Windows 2000 server. We are switching away from novell, and I need a way to uninstall the novell client from machines WITHOUT a client visit.. (client version 4.8) anyone got any ideas? the uinstall.exe file prompts users, and we certainly dont want that..

by the way, the novell topic group didnt know squat about this.. most likely because they've never had to uninstall a mass of novell clients..

I am in the same boat. I have 2500+ systems and in about a month or so we will drop Novell.
Configure your login scripts to eliminate any mapping to Novell servers/shares. Push a reg key to change the GINA to Microsoft and leave the client installed. Once this is done you can let the tech remove the client at the next visit.
SMS will not do it in a clean and reliable way, as far as I know.
