Under no circumstances should you simply delete the program folder of the application to uninstall it, because this could leave numerous files and entries in the system, which could threaten the stability of the system. To uninstall an application, use the uninstall program provided by Windows 7. Start by clicking on the Windows icon. In the right pane, click on Control Panel.
Under Programs click on the item Uninstall a program. Windows then lists all programs that were installed using Windows Installer. Select the program you want to uninstall by clicking on it. In the next message box, confirm the uninstall process by clicking on Yes. Windows now starts the uninstall process. Because a second GPO might just be over written straight away. I cant really 'Block Inheritance if thats that what you mean as there are other policies its pulling down that are needed.
What your proposing sounds right to me, its not something that I have done though. Installing msi and removing them from gpo isnt a great way to go about it genuinely as its very limited. That being said it gets the job done in a lot of scenarios.
You could very quickly test this, create a new ou stick in one of the machines and apply the policy, then youll have you answer. If there are any issues you can always script it and set a start-up script policy to the ou, reboot the machines then remove the policy.
Like Leif said, the only other option would be to use a script probably a VBscript would be best, saying that though that's all I use here when it comes to scripting.
I created a group called ScienceComputers and added all the science computers to the group, then I excluded the group from the policy, and restarted the computers, the software is being removed as we speak.
The remove when falling out of scope option is not going to work that way. That would work if you moved the comptuter to a different container but it looks like you want to manage as much as possible from the Computer OU on down. Since there obviously going to be exceptions to these packages you should apply the packages at the department OU levels and not the Computer OU. But the problem you have now is that you have already installed the software and want to get it out.
