Running script with elevated permissions at logon automatically from Group Policy

I'm migrating users from one tenant to another, and with this comes a fresh 365 license, therefore I need to remove the Users old license, cache and outlook profiles.

I've found the following article that provides the scripts to do these actions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/activation/reset-office-365-proplus-activation-state#method2

However, the scripts need to run with elevated permissions, and the Run at Logon group policy only runs at a user instance level, therefore meaning the 3 scripts won't work.

The following scripts from the site:

  1. OLicenseCleanup.vbs - requires elevated permissions
  2. signoutofwamaccounts.ps1 - requires elevated permissions
  3. WPJCleanUp.cmd

Does anyone know of an alternative method to get these scripts to only run once, per user, per computer?

Maybes running this from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager?
