How to remove an app from user context and deploy this script via Intune

Question

Hey guys,

So I cant figure out why my script is not working. I am trying to uninstall a application called MicroSIP (website: microsip.org) via Microsoft Intune on all of our Windows machines but the script is says "not installed" or "error" every time I run it. I have tied multiple scripts but no luck. I did find my issue. So here it is. Every time the script runs it looks under C:\Users for the name of the MACHINE instead of the USER when expanding %USERNAME%. Can someone please help me fix this? Here is my script and screen screenshot of Intune Log.

Function to uninstall MicroSIP from a specific user profile

function UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile($userProfilePath) {

$MicroSIPUninstallPath = "$userProfilePath\AppData\Local\MicroSIP\Uninstall.exe"

Write-Output $MicroSIPUninstallPath

if (Test-Path -path $MicroSIPUninstallPath) {

    Write-Output "Uninstalling MicroSIP from $userProfilePath..."

    # Stop any running instances of MicroSIP to avoid conflicts

    Stop-Process -Name MicroSIP -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    # Uninstall MicroSIP

    cmd.exe /c ""%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\%USERNAME%\Appdata\Local\MicroSIP\Uninstall.exe" /S"

    # Check if the uninstallation was successful

    if (Test-Path -path $MicroSIPUninstallPath) {

        Write-Output "Failed to uninstall MicroSIP from $userProfilePath. Please try again or manually remove it."

    } else {

        Write-Output "MicroSIP successfully uninstalled from $userProfilePath."

    }

} else {

    Write-Output "MicroSIP is not installed in $userProfilePath."

}

}

if (!(Test-Path -path "C:\Users")) {

Write-Output "Users directory does not exist on this drive. Current location: "

Write-Output $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

Exit

}

Get the list of user profiles on the machine

$userProfiles = Get-ChildItem "C:\Users" -Directory

Loop through each user profile and uninstall MicroSIP

foreach ($profile in $userProfiles) {

UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile $profile.FullName

UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile $profile.FullName

UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile $profile.FullName

UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile $profile.FullName

}

Hello Johnny T ,

Thank you for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A.

I have updated the script to correctly reference the user profile paths using a parameter within the function, ensuring the correct user-specific paths are targeted during the uninstallation process. I have also removed Redundant function calls to improve the efficiency.

# Function to uninstall MicroSIP from a specific user profile

function UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile {

    param (

        [string]$userProfilePath

    )

    $MicroSIPUninstallPath = "$userProfilePath\AppData\Local\MicroSIP\Uninstall.exe"

    Write-Output "Checking path: $MicroSIPUninstallPath"

    if (Test-Path -Path $MicroSIPUninstallPath) {

        Write-Output "Uninstalling MicroSIP from $userProfilePath..."

        # Stop any running instances of MicroSIP to avoid conflicts

        Stop-Process -Name MicroSIP -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

        # Uninstall MicroSIP

        & $MicroSIPUninstallPath /S

        # Check if the uninstallation was successful

        if (Test-Path -Path $MicroSIPUninstallPath) {

            Write-Output "Failed to uninstall MicroSIP from $userProfilePath. Please try again or manually remove it."

        } else {

            Write-Output "MicroSIP successfully uninstalled from $userProfilePath."

        }

    } else {

        Write-Output "MicroSIP is not installed in $userProfilePath."

    }

}

# Check if the Users directory exists

if (!(Test-Path -Path "C:\Users")) {

    Write-Output "Users directory does not exist on this drive. Current location: $($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)"

    Exit

}

# Get the list of user profiles on the machine

$userProfiles = Get-ChildItem "C:\Users" -Directory

# Loop through each user profile and uninstall MicroSIP

foreach ($profile in $userProfiles) {

    UninstallMicroSIPFromUserProfile $profile.FullName

}
