    Uninstall via MSI (advanced) (Windows)

    Domain administrators have the ability to automatically uninstall GoToMeeting from multiple users’ computers by configuring the Group Policy Object they used to install.
    Warning: This method is not recommended if installing to users or groups (as opposed to all computers on the network) because some remnants may remain after un-installation (e.g., registry keys, shortcuts on the users’ desktops and Start menu items). This may cause major side effects and impact future installations of GoToMeeting. The best way to uninstall GoToMeeting is to do it manually on each computer.
    To uninstall via MSI, IT Admins can do the following:
    1. Before uninstalling user assigned GoToMeeting with a Group Policy, check that the "Start Manually" option is enabled from the GoToMeeting user preferences – and not "Start automatically after I log in to Windows" (which may result in an incomplete uninstallation).
    2. Go to GPO Properties.
    3. Select the Deployment tab and select the "Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management" check box.
