Our organization deploys software that utilizes Microsoft Clickonce. Recently we have had our software developer create a publishing point on our local server so that when the applications start they can update or install from the local publishing point.
The challenge we now face is trying to get all of the users switched to this new version of software that points to the local server.
Because of the Clickone nature of these applications I am looking at having to access every terminal the users have accessed and uninstalling the current version and then reinstalling the new version. Not a huge issue except that I am looking at about 60 users and over half of them access the application on two or more workstations.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 and the majority of the workstations are Windows 7 Pro with approximately 14 stations still running XP.
Is there a way through logon scripts or GP to uninstall the old application and then install the new application? I have nearly non-existing scripting skills but I am willing to learn more if someone thinks that is the route to go. ANY help is appreciated, thank you.
