Remove Office and Install Office with Windows Autopilot
We have new laptops that are setup for Windows Autopilot. I believe they came with Office installed, including Outlook. In my organization, we deploy Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but not Outlook desktop. Users only access Outlook on the web.
It seems that the Outlook is still staying on the laptop, even after I try to deploy my version of Office. Is there any way to remove Outlook, even after the Autopilot deployment?
It looks like this documentation might be what I'm looking for: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/office-deployment-tool-configuration-options#all-attribute-part-of-remove-element

Yes, good point. That may work. I am also using Device Based Licensing )https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/device-based-licensing) so I had to manually configure the XML using config.office.com.
This is what I came up with and seems to be working.
