Remove the new Outlook For Windows app with Intune
Today a short blog post about the removal of the new Outlook For Windows app, which comes with the new Windows 11 23H2 update.
Outlook For Windows is the replacement for the Windows Mail app. But that's great fun if you're using Windows 11 as a personal device. But you don't want that in an Enterprise environment, so I created a remediation script that we can deploy to our Intune managed systems using Microsoft Intune.
The remediation consists, as you probably know, of two PowerShell scripts, namely the detection and the remediation script.
You can find the scripts on my GitHub. Follow the steps below to implement it.
GitHub - BurgerhoutJ/scripts
Go to the Intune portal
Go to Devices -> Remediations
Click on + Create script package
On the Basics tab, fill in a Name
Click on Next
On the Settings tab, click on the blue folder button and upload the Detect-OutlookNew.ps1 script
On the same blade, click on the blue folder button and upload the Remove-OutlookNew.ps1 script
Toggle the switch to Yes at Run this script using the logged-on credentials
Toggle the switch to Yes at Run script in 64-bit PowerShell
Click on Next
Click on Next
Choose your desired assignment, like all devices or an Entra ID group
Choose your desired schedule to run this remediation script
Click on Next
Click on Create
That's it. Now sit back and relax. Grab a ☕ or a 🍺.
