Windows 10: Disconnect Accounts Via Script/Registry/Directory Clearing

Hello,

I am running into an issue where users on kiosk devices are connecting their work/school accounts under emails and accounts. We have a GPO set to block the accounts and that works when they try to login under "Access work or school" but if they go to "Email & Accounts" and select "Add a work or school account" it allows them to connect it. We have a SSO badge tap software that I am using to invoke a script on badge out. I found that clearing all files and sub-folders from c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy and then rebooting clears and disconnects the account at the next time the device auto-logs in.


However, I am looking for a way to disconnect the accounts in the moments via script whether it be registry changes or other directories I am missing.


Thoughts?

Nate

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

long running script in email account

Hi,

The long-running script error usually occurs when there are issues with Internet Explorer.

To resolve your concern, we suggest turning off the scripting debugger in Internet Explorer 11. Please follow these steps:

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Click the Settings icon at the top-right corner, then select Internet Options.
• On the Advanced tab, uncheck Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer) and
  Disable script debugging (Other).
• Click Apply, then OK.

Once done, check if the issue will still persist.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
