Executing a PowerShell with admin privilege via Intune.

Question

Hi

I'm trying to uninstall an application from the client machine via Intune. To do that I have deployed a PowerShell script through the Intune portal. However the script failed to run despite configured to run "System Context". Please help.

@Sheik Mohamed Yasar,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know that you want to uninstall an application via Intune, but the script failed to run.

To clarify this issue, here are some information you can check.

1.Please check whether the script can run on targeted device with admin.

(1.Download PSTools and run CMD as admin.    [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec)

(2.CD to PSTools directory.

(3.Enter psexec -i -d -s cmd.exe tp run cmd in system context.

(4.Enter whoami to check running context.

(5.Enter the uninstall command to test if it can work.

2.Please check if exists related errors in IME and AgentExecutor log. Location: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs.

Please try above information, if there is any update, feel free to let me know.

Depending on the app, you could create Win32 app (if you haven't done that already) for this app and try to uninstall the app by using a)msiexec /x {productcode} /qn -string or b)finding possible uninstall.exe type of file inside Program Files of that app. You then specify on of options to Win32 app uninstall string and deploy the app's uninstall deployment to device or users. Win32 app does support User and Device context approach. With only using powershell script in user context, you will be missing admin previleges for uninstallation, but Win32 should cover that.
