Hi,

I'm working with AutoCad 2009. I have created a Computer based GPO to
install the software based on computer names. However, I'd like ot be able
to uninstall the software for a particular computer wityhout effecting the
other computers in the group.

I've tried creating another group specifically for computers I do not want
the software on and given the 'Deny' permission on the 'Apply Group Policy'
permission but the software will not install.

Is there a specific procedure for uninstalling software from one or more
computers without effecting the remaining ones?

Much Appreciated,
Craig

You could script the uninstall. If it's an MSI, you could simply use
msiexec /u {package GUID} if I remember this right. You maybe can also
kick the setup.exe again using some other parameter -- but using a
script is the way to go, I think.

cheers,

Florian
