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.
