Re: Remove programs with a script?

Alternately, you could create another batch script that would run
"uninst_notes.bat" on the other workstations using PSexec from the
PSTools "SysInternals" package (see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx). Whether
or not this will work for you will depend to some extent on the
content of the "uninst_notes.bat" file.

Good suggestion -- but it too has the same administrator access and remote
impersonated account constraints.

Fortunately for us all you cannot generally run things remotely without
actually being an admin ;-)
As for the remote impersonation thing, you're right. But some might find
PSexec's way of managing this less non-intuitive.

And it also would require the *.bat/cmd file to be copied to the remote
machine and explicitly referenced via a local path (relative to process
executed) on the remote machine.

The /c switch causes PSexec to copy the file to the target system for you,
run it, and then delete it, so you can avoid some of the details. I
typically run a small batch file that way that calls a batch script back on
the server.

I made the suggestion, because it seemed to me that the OP was getting a
little bit hung up in vbscript issues, which seems an unfortunate problem
for someone who just wants to run a batch script.
