Dear all,As per subject, does anyone have done this before?Will be grateful for any help you can provide.Thanks.

Hi... thats easy Just make sure you add the microsoft store for business to Intune... ... open the Microsoft store for business... search for that Mail app... add it... Back in intune add the app but instead of requiring the app select uninstall... job done 🙂 Sune is describing it here also https://blog.mindcore.dk/2021/05/remove-windows-10-built-in-apps-with.html

Sk-73 yeah users tend to click on the mail app instead of the Outlook. I would avoid removing native apps though not to break any basic functionality. I would instead prevent the users from using the app via CA policies or Applock. With some user Ed I always get them to use the browser for non work related mail accounts. Plus MS is retiring MS store for business.

Applocker CSP here PRICESLY that (instead of uninstalling you DENY access)https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/intune-customer-success/support-tip-using-applocker-to-create-custom-intune-policies-for/ba-p/364981that article was from 2019 so here is the updated OMA-URI node and XML parts to use instead of the ones mentioned in the article but beside that follow everything in that article. You DO NOT need to start the App Identity service as it will automatically start (even though by default it is stopped and set to manual)OMA-URI (CASE SENSITIVE) ./Vendor/MSFT/AppLocker/ApplicationLaunchRestrictions/Grouping/StoreApps/PolicyXML part to use a string value<RuleCollection Type="Appx" EnforcementMode="Enabled"><FilePublisherRule Id="c3d7f207-377d-4512-bb18-d41c86063d54" Name="microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps, version 16005.14326.0.0 and above, from Microsoft Corporation" Description="" UserOrGroupSid="S-1-1-0" Action="Deny"><Conditions><FilePublisherCondition PublisherName="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" ProductName="microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps" BinaryName="*"><BinaryVersionRange LowSection="16005.14326.0.0" HighSection="*" /></FilePublisherCondition></Conditions></FilePublisherRule></RuleCollection>

I just learned this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/wdac-and-applocker-overview#:~:text=Generally%2C%20it%20is,new%20feature%20improvementsTry to use MDAC/WDAC instead of Applockerif you still want to try with Applocker then model the policy via GUI using the secpol.msc then export the policy to XML and open the XML with VS Code and take a look at the XML structure.

Sk-73 yeah I just noticed the same behavior where Stickynotes and Company Portal were also impacted by the policy which is a bizarre thing. I would try then with alternative methods like MDAC/WDAC or the Uninstall option or both as it seems the Applocker method would require more testing at this point.

  Thanks, Rudy_Ooms_MVP My organization is disabled. I have sent an email to the relevant team to ask for permission to enable it before taking any further action.
