Is there an automatic way to uninstall the Messenger client from windows?

[LifeFitness]

Is there an automatic way to uninstall the Messenger client? Like command
line or something I could do with ZEN?

I need to uninstall a bunch of clients from workstations and don't want to
have to do it manually.

Thanks

You should be able to do an uninstall with a ZEN app, one way or the other.
Either by running a snapshot application, or forcing the uninstall. Or
simply by removing the startup executable so it cannot run (and perhaps clear
a few registry entries) with a forced-run app.

I guess I was looking for a command line for uninstall, I can run via Zen. I
was hoping there was a uninstall switch or something I could use. I just
can't seem to find any info on uninstall on the web anywhere.

You could try standard windows command line uninstall procedures. (Though I
don't know if you can make it silent and unprompted).

I found an interesting article online:

Unfortunately, on my system, I don't find GW Messenger listed when I do the
product name step. I tried using "GroupWise Messenger" in the uninstall step,
but it didn't work.

You should be able to use Cleanit to just remove messenger.
