So, is there something specific that your script does or doesn't do, that you want to change?
I'm not sure how to "discover" machines running a particular piece of software - you'd have to connect to EVERY machine and look for a file or registry key - and it's going to take a LONG TIME depending on how many machines you have to check.
My best suggestion would be to run your script as a logon script, so that it runs locally - assuming users have permission to uninstall/install whatever you want.
You want to log to a file? No sweat. Use the FileSystemObject's OpenTextFile() method. It has a parameter that lets it append to an existing file. The method returns an object; use its WriteLine() method to add lines to the text file. Use its Close() method to close the file.
WScript.Echo GetComputerRole (WScript.Arguments(0))
Function GetComputerRole( strComputer )
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!" & strComputer & "rootcimv2")
Set colObj = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each obj In colObj
Select Case obj.DomainRole
Case 0: GetComputerRole = "Standalone Workstation"
Case 1: GetComputerRole = "Member Workstation"
Case 2: GetComputerRole = "Standalone Server"
Case 3: GetComputerRole = "Member Server"
Case 4: GetComputerRole = "Backup Domain Controller"
Case 5: GetComputerRole = "Primary Domain Controller"
End Select
Next
End Function
