anyweb Posted December 22, 2020 Report post Posted December 22, 2020 have you tried any of the regular posh scripts for doing this in 20h2 ? if so what was the result ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesh Posted December 22, 2020 Report post Posted December 22, 2020 I've tried 2 scripts I found online but they didn't work. After the task sequence completed, the apps were still there. I'll post the links if which ones I used and a screenshot of my task sequence a bit later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbendallas Posted January 6, 2021 Report post Posted January 6, 2021 I gave up using scripts in TS for removing apps. I got it to work, but it was never consistent. For some reason the script failed on every fourth or fifth computer that got setup. I use WIMwitch instead and remove the apps directly from the WIM. Works great. I highly recommend it.
