I am looking for a program that can automatically uninstall multiple programs on

Question

I am looking for a program that can automatically uninstall multiple programs one right after the other.

For my job, I initialize, set up, and remove junkware from computers for new employees. The first 2 I have down pretty fast and easy, but the last one takes a long time. I have to go in and manually remove about 15 applications/programs that come on the new computers that the new employees don't need. It takes a long time to remove all of them individually.

It would be nice if I could just select all the programs I want to uninstall and have a program do it automatically without me needing to be there to to select the software one at a time and go through all of the uninstall prompts.

I am looking for a program that:

Automatically uninstalls multiple programs one right after the other
Works with Windows 7/8/8.1
Could do silent uninstalls of all the programs so I don't have to click through a bunch of uninstall prompts
Could save an uninstall selection to be ran on another computer without needing to select the same software again
Is free or relatively cheap

Explanation / Answer

The right answer is cloning!! Make an image for each OS 7 and 8.1. (8.1 is free upgrade to 8 so just do it)

Take 1 Windows 7 PC and do all your steps.

Take 1 Windows 8.1 PC and do all your steps.

Take a spare computer, and download and burn drbl from drbl.sourceforge.net to CD or USB stick

Capture both as separate image. win7 and win8.1 (masters)

run as Administrator c:windowssystem32sysprep /generalize /oobe

(on both)

recapture as win7-go and win8-go

Use a cheap netgear and drbl to multicast images to 7,15,23 computers at once. You should be able to do a batch in <15mins

Change the product key enter basic data and the PC is done.

If you are interested leave me a comment and I can get more detailed instruction. Depending on the number of ports on the netgear you should be able to churn out 7,15, or 23 computers every 30 minutes or so.
