Summary
This article helps to remove SVM Agents from clients by utilizing an alternative method of deployment of a logon script that will run a small bat file that will then run the Uninstall.exe removal tool of the Agent.
Synopsis
The below steps list the process of creating a GPO deployment of a logon script that will uninstall your SVM2018 Agents from Clients in the domain:

if EXIST "C:\Program Files\Flexera Software\Corporate Software Inspector Agent\Uninstall.exe" GOTO uninstall
exit
:uninstallx86
echo "unistallx86"
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\Corporate Software Inspector Agent\"
Uninstall.exe /S

Uninstall.exe /S
echo "SVM2018 Agent Uninstalled"
