A script to run powershell to remove windows mail program

Question

Excuse my ignorance here but I am looking to write a script to remove windows mail from pcs that I build for all users. I know the command in powershell but have to run it as administrator. Trying to see if I can make a batch file or something similar.

This is what I have currently, obviously run powershell as administrator:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage

Thanks in advance, and yes, I am slightly higher than a novice but not much. We all learn somewhere right?

Answer 1

Hi @Brad Davis

What is the intention of the Batch file??

You can create a script for PowerShell "script.ps1"

If you what run the command remotely you can use Invoke-Command (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/invoke-command?view=powershell-7.2)

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

Thank you for the response, Carlos!

Again, I am basically a novice. I am wanting a script that I put on a flash drive with all the software I am installing so I can simplify removing default windows mailer from all machines as I am building them.

Any assistance would be greatly helpful.
Thanks!

Brad

Hi @Brad Davis

Save the following line in a file with the name of your preference, the only requirement is that the extension must be .ps1

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage  

Later from the host you can execute this command from powershell

powershell -ep Bypass D:\MyScript.ps1  

Hope this helps,
