Uninstalling the Novell client

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..
