 There was one desktop that I was unable to gain access, which made it difficult to remove the software. Found an article <ref>https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/179-using-a-command-line-to-uninstall-software-on-remote-pcs</ref> that explained how to use wmic to remotely remove software. This is the process I am working on to automate some of this process when using full clones instead of linked clones.
