Client Services for Netware Uninstall

[mwood_53081]

I'm looking for a solution to uninstalling CSNW using NetInstall logged in as a normal user. I have been sucessful on the Windows XP platform by having NetInstall add a domain account (with rights) to the local administrators group, copy an AUTOIT script to the local HD, adding the command line in the RUNONCE key in registry to launch the AUTOIT script, rebooting the computer and having that account auto logon and run the AUTOIT script. This process doesn't act the same way in the Windows 2000 because the AUTOIT .exe seems to conflict with the EXPLORER at startup. Does anybody have an easier method of removing CSNW?

Hi Mwood,

What version of the Novell client are you dealing with?

Your mileage may vary, but it worked well for us.
