(GroupWise) uninstall script
A powerful Windows CMD script that query's WMI for MSI package names containing the string stored in variable '__FILTER', then, it performs a silent uninstall of any packages that it finds a match.
I developed it to remove GroupWise Clients (those that utilize MSI) which were installed with all different configurations throughout the enterprise. Most everyone was on GW802.
I am submitting this as a GW removal tool, but really, you could use this code to query any string to uninstall any product.

Run ConsoleOne in Mac OS X in minutes with XQuartz
It's quick and easy to have eDirectory administration on your Mac OS X machine. This approach eliminates the need to run a Virtual Machine just for ConsoleOne. Best of all; This approach utilizes SSH which most IT admins already use on a daily basis.

The Demo Area on vibe.novell.com
Last year we revamped The Novell Vibe Sandbox on Vibe Public Access to give users a richer experience. While you can still access sample Forms and Workflows, learn about Default Folders in Vibe, and play around with our Workspace templates which are all available for download on The Resource Library. Now you can also access the Demos and Projects areas.
This post will focus on the Demo Area and what it can do to help you and other users in your organization get off to a great start using Vibe.
