Cleanup Intune profiles and policies
We have come across an issue where a desktop support person was logging into each windows device that they were deploying which assigned them as the primary user on the device. I ran a script to switch the primary user to the last logged on user which cleaned up the devices and assigned them corrcetly but now the polcies and profiles are a mess. Most of our polcies and profiles are user based and when I changed the primary user, it left his polcies and profiles on the device.
How do I purge their policies and profiles on these devices. could it be his work profile is also still assigned on this device?
- Hi,
Hi, good morning
Intune profiles--> Windows profiles.. When a user logs in a device... and even when the user is removed the old profile just sits and stays there on the device...
If there is data in it you want to remove, create a powershell script which tries to find the specific user folder first... if it exists... it removes it... (as the userprofile also contains the policies/register settings.. they are also removed)
Or did I get the question wrong 🙂 ?- RobYoungIron ContributorI didnt think the user profile on the machine was associated with the intune Device Compliance, Device COnfig, and ES Config. I went ahead and pulled the previous user profile off the machine and performed a sync, but the policies and configurations are still applying.
- It depends on what was configured..
Device policies...
User policies
Could you take a look at what registry keys are still present inside the policymanager registry key?
