Actually, if you implement a group policy to *install* the software (even
though it's already installed), you should then be able use a GPO to
uninstall it. It has been a while since I tried this, and I didn't do it
with the ISA client, but it *did* work when I last tried it.

Subject: Scripted Software removal (Encrypting Credentials)
We are looking to remove MS ISA Firewall Client from
desktop's throughout our organization. We did not roll this
software out the AD, so the option to remove it that way is
not available. I have found a couple resources for removing
via scripts:

When adapted, the scripts work for the uninstall; however, we
are having problems with user accounts making the changes
(User logs in, uninstall script runs, user has no privileges
to install/uninstall software, script fails). Is there a way
to encrypt the credentials so users are unable to view them?
