How to Uninstall the Previously Installed Workstatus Visible Mac App Using Microsoft Intune

1. Overview

This document explains how an IT administrator can uninstall the previously installed Visible Workstatus Windows App from user systems by deploying a PowerShell script through Microsoft Intune.

  • The previous Workstatus macOS App is removed if the script executes successfully and identifies the intended installation.
  • Intune reports the script execution status.


Note: Uninstallation is not necessarily immediate. The timing depends on Intune's device check-in and script execution schedule.

7. Verify the Uninstallation Status

  • Open the Microsoft Intune Admin Center.
  • Navigate to Devices → macOS → Scripts → click on scripts nmae.
  • Open the created uninstall script.
