Windows 10: Unable to uninstall OneDrive from Domain computer using a batch script

Hi Legends,

Requirement: One drive should be uninstalled from user profiles by logon script.


I hope everyone knows that one drive is getting installed in user profile from the setup available in

"Systemroot/syswow or system32/onedrivesetup.exe".

I am trying to uninstall one drive from user profiles by creating a batch script. But, we are unable to pass admin credentials in script for allowing logon script to uninstall onedrive. It popsup UAC and it is not possible to enter credentials on all user machines and profiles manually.

Is there a way to achieve it instead of disabling or blocking through group policy?

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Unable to uninstall Onedrive For Business

OneDrive can be uninstalled from some versions of Windows 10:

1. Select the Start button, type Programs in the search box, and then select Add or remove programs in the list of results.
   
2. Under Apps & features, find and select Microsoft OneDrive, and then select Uninstall.
   

As OneDrive is built in to some versions of Windows and can't be uninstalled. As a workaround, you can hide it. Reference “Turn off or uninstall OneDrive” for detail steps:
Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive

 

Running PowerShell script as a batch file

Hello Baldo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to execute the PowerShell commands as a batch file.



I tried executing the batch file on my machine but I was unable to execute it as the command was incomplete. However, after making some changes in the command I was able to execute the batch file.



You can try the following command by saving it in a batch file and check if that helps.



powershell –Command Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.3dBuilder | Remove-AppxPackage



Also, as the query is related to running a PowerShell script using a batch file, I suggest you to post the issue on

TechNet forums where we have professionals who have more knowledge about the issue.



Hope it helps.
