How to package and deploy the New Teams app (and remove the "personal" Teams client)

Is everyone a photographer but me?
Last week we talked about packaging the M365 Apps (Office) in a Win32 package for Intune deployment. And as soon as I posted it, as if on queue, everyone asked, "what about Teams?"
So today, I'll not only show you how to deploy the new Teams client, but we'll look at how to setup an Intune remediation to remove the built-in/personal Teams client.
TeamsBootstrapper.exe:

Teams MSIX:

Steps for testing the Intunewin in a Sandbox:

Thanks for this. This channel is straight gold for intune stuff

[@getrubix]

Thanks!

[@andrewgray8211]

Amazing - Thanks very much for this, this channel has so much fantastic content for Intune! Just a minor note that the link in the description for the bootstrapper exe is incorrect.

[@getrubix]

Thanks! Good catch, just updated :)

[@vagabondghost4939]

I tried this but somehow it is not detecting the personal teams therefore it is not running the remediation. Manually it is detecting that teams is installed.

[@patrick__007]

Perhaps stupid question, but how do you add the "Open with Code" to your right click menu?

[@getrubix]

I believe it's an option during the VS Code install

[@ThisGuyDakota]

I suppose being remediation it should continuously remove it, right? Because the ConfigureChatAutoInstall registry value is going to have reinstalled whenever there's a significant update

[@getrubix]

Correct- couldn't hurt to change the value as well

[@thomasbrowne8001]

Any chance this can be installed during pre-provisioning or Self-deployed ?

[@getrubix]

I don't see why not...

[@tianfreeze3472]

I used the intune remediation to remove personal teams ,but the user who has logged in will still exist teams personal, new user signing in the teams personal doesn't appearr anymore. it seems that Teams Personal under the user cannot be deleted? The detection script has always been able to detect the presonal Teams .

[@getrubix]

I'll take a look into this.

[@JonHelm]

Is there another way to remove Teams personal for tenant that runs Office 365 Business Premium? Remediation script is greyed out and I think it's because it requires a higher level of subscription.

[@getrubix]

You can deploy the PowerShell script directly as a 'platform script' or package as an application?

[@nathanhopkins8780]

Any reason to not put the remediation steps into the New Teams installer?

[@getrubix]

Nope- you can do that. Options are good :)

[@ToTCaMbIu]

Keep them separate, it would be easier to troubleshoot if one of them doest work as expected.

[@zhiqiangzhou540]

I'm having trouble with the Run in sandbox, when I try to launch an intunewin package, the installa command window doesn't show, it automatically open the Sandbox and does nothing

[@getrubix]

Not sure what the reason would be, but I would try reinstalling "RunInSandbox"

[@zhiqiangzhou540]

​@@getrubix Already tried, the option is present in the context menu, but when clicked, it open a powershell window which closes almost instantly and then the Sandbox is launched.

[@ayyappacreations6654]

Can you please share any link for uninstalling old teams classic

[@getrubix]

There are several options discussed here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-classic-client-uninstall

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

If these scripts are running in the background, where are the write-host messages shown/written to? Will the user get a popup?

[@getrubix]

Write-Host is for logging purposes

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

@@getrubix where does it get logged though? That’s what I was asking. Does it write to a file on the client or get surfaced in Intune?

[@getrubix]

Oh okay- it will get logged in the output of the remediation. Other than that, you would have to specify somewhere specific by Start-Transcript...

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

@@getrubix Ah okay, that's cool! Really wish we had remediations...

[@jonlyons3601]

How do you get teams to AutoStart the first time? :)

[@getrubix]

Intune configuration policy. Go to settings catalog > search "teams" > and you'll see the available options.

[@jonlyons3601]

​@@getrubix Weird I have that AutoStart option set to disable(which is to enabled it) but teams never auto starts the first time from a fresh autopilot deploy.

[@JVinterberg]

I copied the scripts from your github and installed the run-in-sandbox to mirror your setup for testing in Sandbox, but for some reason it never make the New-Teams folder nor installing the App, am i right in the command you issue is: %windir%\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass .\install.ps1

[@getrubix]

yes- if that doesn't work, then just try "powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass .\install.ps1"

[@papajohnscookie]

It would be so much easier if they just had the new teams UWP app on the store to install
