Intune installed desktop shortcut needs to be removed
I created a desktop shortcut via intune windows app (win 32). Here is my script New-Item -Path "c:" -Name "mem" -ItemType "directory" -Force Copy-Item "S:\Shortcuts\UKG.ico" -Destination "c:\mem...
- The detection is OK if you want the shortcut removed. You must assign a group to Uninstall the program, and it will run the uninstall script. The detection will check again to see if the file is still there. If not, The removal of the shortcut should be complete.
What does your uninstall command line look like? It should be powershell.exe -Executionpolicy Bypass -File .\uninstall.ps1
For my requirements I set it for 32 and 64 bit and the min operating system is windows 10 1607. My detection rule is manually configured and file rule type. The path is c:\users\public\desktop and the file or folder is ukg.lnk. The detection method is file or folder exists. It could be my install and uninstall command. I've tried a few things for those but now that I think about it that could be the problem. Do you have any suggestions on how to set those up?

- No problem!
- For whatever reason after making that change to the uninstall it is now working. I removed the desktop shortcut from the test pcs and I've pushed it out to the other machines. I've had a full success rate so far. I greatly appreciate all the help and patience.

- Could you add this to the top of the script: Start-Transcript c:\windows\temp\log.txt ? And this at the end: Stop-Transcript. Create a new .intunewin file again, deploy it, watch the status, and check c:\windows\temp\log.txt afterward...
- I have my all endpoints group assigned to uninstall. I installed it to that group to begin with.
- That should also work, -File is just for clarity. Ok... Then the assignment part, did you assign a group to uninstall the software?
- That might be my problem. My uninstall was Powershell.exe -Executionpolicy Bypass .\uninstall.ps1. I'll make the change and see what happens.
