Put the script in your Active Directory Computer Startup GPO and this runs with the necessary rights, also /norestart if you don't want it to retart the PC

[ instead of /promptrestart  ]

%windir%\$NtUninstallKB917013$\spuninst\spuninst.exe /q /promptrestart

This works great!

Add a policy object and set startup script to

%windir%\$NtUninstallKB917013$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

and set parameters to

/q /promptrestart

Link the GPO to a specific OU in your Active Directory and it works. I tried it on several systems.

Offcourse it can take a while for your policy to be replicated so to test go to the commandprompt on the workstation and use gpupdate /force
