unable to uninstall windows store app using SCCM Task Sequence

Question

I tried to run the following two commands manually on one of the machine and it worked.However,i tried to push the same commands through sccm task sequence on another machine as available.I run it and it showed successful but unfortunately the app is still appearing on the computer after running the first command l have shared.What am i missing?

Get-WmiObject -Query "select version from Win32_InstalledStoreProgram where name='Microsoft.ECApp'"

Get-AppxPackage -User alfred.cb.lim | Where-Object {$_.Name-match ".Microsoft.ECApp*.*"} | Remove-AppxPackage

Answer 1

Hi,

1,We can run the command line step with local admin privilege user account to have a try.

2,If this still fails, we can use PsExec.exe to run the package/program under a specified credential to have a try. For more detailed information, please refer to:

PsTools

Hope it helps. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon

That is what i have done in user context but still failing

Add logging and troubleshooting statements to your script to capture errors and verify that your variables contain the data that you think they have.

Save a C:\temp\Uninstall.ps1 script on the target PC and have Powershell execute the .ps1 file. Use a folder that has "everyone full control".

Start-Transcript C:\Temp\Uninstall.log  
"This process is executing as the following account."
whoami.exe 
$appx = Get-AppxPackage -User alfred.cb.lim
"We found {0} packages." -f $appx.count
$ECA = $appx | Where-Object {$_.Name-match ".Microsoft.ECApp*.*"} 
"We found {0} ECApp packages." -f $ECA.count
$ECA | Remove-AppxPackage
Stop-Transcript 

Review the transcript log file.

Maybe you should just uninstall it for all users? "Get-AppxPackage -Allusers".
