Hi Guys,

I know we can install software package unattendly to
multiple computers from the win2000 server at the same
time. Can we remove the default games in windows 2000
professional machines from the win2000 server also? Any
suggestion on removing 40 machines' game program? Don't
like to do it one by one.

Thanks!

Just delete the .exe files for these games! Create a list
of all PC names, then do this on your PC while logged
on as an administrator:

@echo off
for /F %%n in (c:\PCs.txt) do call :Remove %%n
goto :eof

:Remove
del \\%1\c$\winnt\system32\winmine.exe
del \\%1\c$\winnt\system32\sol.exe
etc.

This won't work without some further effort. MineSweeper and Solitaire are
included in the list of files managed by Windows File Protection. Delete
them from the system32 folder and they'll reappear in a minute or so. You
may be able to remoce them by deleting them from both the system32 and
dllcache folders if it's done quickly enough, but then you'll get a
complaint from WFP and a request to insert your Windows CD.
