How to Uninstall the Previously Installed Workstatus Windows App Using Microsoft Intune

1. Overview

This document explains how an IT administrator can uninstall the previously installed Workstatus Windows App from user systems by deploying a PowerShell script through Microsoft Intune.
Once the script is created and assigned to the required users or devices, Intune will execute it according to the configured assignment and execution schedule.

• You have the required administrator permissions to create and assign PowerShell scripts.
• The PowerShell uninstall script has been prepared and shared by the Workstatus team.
• The target Windows devices are enrolled in Microsoft Intune.
• The appropriate user or device groups are available for assignment.

After the script is created and assigned:

2. The script runs using the configured execution context.
3. The previous Workstatus Windows App is removed if the script executes successfully and identifies the intended installation.
4. 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

1. Open the Microsoft Intune Admin Center.

3. Open the created uninstall script.
4. Review the device execution status, including successful and failed executions.
