Remove Windows Defender ATP

Hi Folks,

 

In a situation where a customer was trialling Windows Defender ATP, then their ATP license expired, but they didnt offboard their devices. So it appears the Windows Defender ATP services are still installed. As the license is no longer valid, and it's been over a year since it was,  the offboarding scripts/packages are no longer available.

 

Any suggestions on how to remove the services and software from the devices?

 

Cheers,

 

Johno

    I am also having issues with the offboarding of MDE devices, the offboarding options only seem to disconnect the devices from the portal, they do not remove any of the software, services or regkeys. This is causing an issue migrating to another tenant. Deleted why is there no responses and why is there not clean-up tool? Even as admin you are unable to manually remove any of the MDE parts. Please help and resolve!
