Use this function on a text file with a computer/line
http://techibee.com/powershell/powershell-uninstall-windows-hotfixesupdates/1084

Something like this:

$myComputers = Get-Content

"c:\scripts\mycomputers.txt"

foreach ($computer in $myComputers

) {

 Uninstall-HotFix -ComputerName $computer

-HotfixID KB123456

}

I havent tried this by my self, but It should work...

Fredrik has given you a good solution, but I thought this article may help as well. Thanks to Boe Prox for pointing it to me; in a comment, Dusting Hedges rightly recommends PowerShell's Get-HotFix Cmdlet instead of the WMI path...  Robert Robelo

-HotfixID : The term '-HotfixID' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
