Hey guys, I want to ask you about your handling the windows 10 default built-in apps. After we couldnt get a stable working solution to roam the startmenu with Windows LTSB, ive decided to switch to Windows 10 Enterprise 1703. Now im trying to remove the built in apps. Firstly i tried the vmware customization tool to get this done, but we are using linked clones with uem with a dynamic assignment and in this case the used method of the customization tool and the default templates is not working, because its just remove the apps for the current user. So now im trying to remove the apps with powershell and uses this script: $AppsList = "Microsoft.3DBuilder","Microsoft.BingFinance","Microsoft.BingNews","Microsoft.Getstarted","Microsoft.SkypeApp","Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection","Microsoft.BingSports","Microsoft.ZuneMusic","Microsoft.ZuneVideo","Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub","microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps","Microsoft.Office.OneNote","Microsoft.windowsphone","Microsoft.people","Microsoft.XboxApp","Microsoft.Office.Sway","Microsoft.Messaging","Microsoft.WindowsStore","Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp","Microsoft.OneConnect" ForEach ($App in $AppsList) { $Packages = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $App} if ($Packages -ne $null) { "Removing Appx Package: $App" foreach ($Package in $Packages) { Remove-AppxPackage -package $Package.PackageFullName } } else { "Unable to find package: $App" } $ProvisionedPackage = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Where-Object {$_.displayName -eq $App} if ($ProvisionedPackage -ne $null) { "Removing Appx Provisioned Package: $App" remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename $ProvisionedPackage.PackageName } else { "Unable to find provisioned package: $App" } } I used this guide to just remove the provisioned apps and not the system apps: Remove Builtin Apps from Windows 10 reference image | deploymentparts The script is working fine, after I run this script and do some other modification new users get a clean startmenu. My problem is now to get sysprep working, if im trying to create a pool now, sysprep fails. Is there anyone who get this working and if so, how? Thanks! regards Alex
