Have you ever ever checked out one thing and simply puzzled “What had been they considering”? That is the thought I’ve each time I log right into a newly constructed Home windows 11 Enterprise gadget and see the Groups for house and Chat apps loaded.
Anybody else really feel just like the dude within the glasses is mocking you as you fail to log in along with your work account again and again?? So glad we will Chat and collaborate in a single app! And so glad they named it Groups for house on NONE OF THE APPS!!!
This week I used to be working with a brand new consumer who wished to start out utilizing Home windows 11 on all of his new Intune units. Not like many of us in the neighborhood, I’ve been a gradual adopter for Home windows 11 and have solely been working it on my private units for the previous 2 months and I haven’t even begun digging into enterprise administration of it. As my first Home windows 11 Autopilot gadget accomplished and loaded the desktop, I used to be greeted with the brand new Groups and Chat apps and added them to my checklist of issues to scrub up. In a submit final 12 months I detailed how I deploy uninstalls of the Home windows Retailer variations of the entire in-box apps that I wish to take away in order that I don’t have to make use of customized scripts for it. I made a decision to method this the identical approach.
Jörgen Nilsson has a very complete weblog about many of the elimination strategies, so take a look at his submit for information on eradicating the chat app. Plus newly minted Microsoft MVP Jóhannes Kristjánsson has a submit on SysManSquad (the neighborhood running a blog platform that you must come weblog on) about utilizing Proactive Remediations to take away them each.
The Groups for house app isn’t out there within the Retailer (Enterprise/Private/Grocery). The one choices for putting in the Groups for House app is to obtain the MSIX package deal immediately from the Groups obtain web page. At this level you could be considering “It’s just like the individuals who personal Groups don’t know that Microsoft has a Retailer they’ll distribute apps by way of, or that their app title is HUGELY complicated when put in alongside the common Groups for work or college, or as I prefer to name it – Groups.”. Yeah, me too pricey reader, me too. Generally I ponder in the event that they even understand that there are Enterprise clients who must help these things.
Okay, I’m (largely) accomplished with my rant. This submit goes to point out you methods to use the Groups for house MSIX package deal to uninstall the app out of your Intune (and possibly ConfigMgr) purchasers.
The Resolution
- Obtain the Groups for House for Home windows 11 MSIX package deal (Labeled as #3 within the picture above, simply behind the pink arrows)
- Create a brand new Line of Enterprise (LOB) App in Intune
- Choose Line of Enterprise
Choose Line of Enterprise - Import the MSIX you downloaded
Import the MSIX you downloaded - Add ‘for house’ to the app title
Add ‘for house’ to the app title - Assign the Uninstall to your Home windows 11 units
Assign the Uninstall to your Home windows 11 units - Hope Groups doesn’t reinstall after the subsequent main replace
Whereas I haven’t examined, I’m sure you may deploy the MSIX from ConfigMgr the identical approach. Simply create a brand new software and select Home windows app package deal from the Sort dropdown.
Parting Photographs
The ethical of the story right here is, Groups must get their act collectively trigger that is utterly unacceptable.
