Let’s walk through the Microsoft Intune configuration now. Configuring Microsoft Intune to remove Office 365 ProPlus from devices. With the XML data supplied above, you can remove the Office 365 ProPlus suite from devices managed with Microsoft Intune. However, the Office Customization Tool does not include all configuration options the Office Deployment Tool has, such as the Remove element. With the web-based Office Customization Tool (OCT), we can configure the deployment settings for Office 365 ProPlus, and generate the XML data to deploy with Microsoft Intune. Lucky for us a removal does not consume as much bandwidth as a deployment does.
This is probably the best fit for most organizations, especially when network bandwidth is limited, however for our users, which are not licensed to use these apps, it is confusing that the desktop apps are available on their machines.įortunately removing the pre-installed Office 365 ProPlus suite is as easy as deploying it with Microsoft Intune. When we purchased these new Surface devices, or deployed the Surface recovery image to them, we noticed that the factory image already includes the Office 365 ProPlus Suite by default. Most of the firstline workers have an Office 365 F1 or Office 365 E1 license assigned, which do not include the Office Desktop apps, but instead offer the Office Mobile apps. Recently I’ve been deploying a lot of Surface Go’s with Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune in an environment where these devices are shared amongst firstline workers. Today I would like to share a method to remove the pre-installed Office 365 ProPlus suite from Microsoft Intune managed devices managed with you.
