Auto uninstallation of unapproved softwares for the machines which are in the network

[Sujitha_L_M]

Dear Concern,

In our organization many workstations are having unapproved software's and its highly a typical task to uninstall the softwares in each and every system. So, is there any Automated tool which can uninstall the unapproved softwares as soon as if the machines comes into our network.

Kindly expecting the suggestions from all the users.

ThanQ

Couldn't it be set up to uninstall "Unapproved Software" only? I know that in my organization when I mark something as unapproved I know for a fact I do not want it on my network. Such as limewire, asktoolbar, youtube video downloader, ect.

There is still a risk of accidental deletions. There is currently no built-in functionality for performing mass uninstallations. This feature is on our customer wish list, but we do not yet have a release date for it.

Personally I would be a afraid to let anything automatically uninstall an application. Configuration enforcement reports could be useful but I think keeping up with new versions of software would be a challenge unless the environment is truly isolated and locked down.

Only speaking for myself but if something as simple as a new version of java or flash was released today, I don't mark it approved, and it was automatically uninstalled that could be a huge problem.

Is there any such possibility of auto uninstallations of softwares in Coming versions of Lansweeper(5.0).

No, this feature is not available in Lansweeper 5.0 either. We do not currently have a release date for this feature.

This is one of the reasons this hasn't been implemented yet. We want to avoid accidental uninstallations.
