(184) Microsoft Intune - Removing Dell Bloatware and Dell Apps
One of our customers listed me a detail list of Dell vulernable apps within their tenant. I tried to re-invent the wheel by using my HP Bloatware removal remediation script which did partial removing these bloatware apps. I ended up using Andrew Taylor's script with some modifications in place by removing all the unwanted bloatware lines he has added, and only focusing on Dell bloatware and Dell installed apps.

As I prepping this yesterday for a customer, which does work https://soeintunedevice.wixsite.com/home/post/181-microsoft-intune-prompt-for-hostname-change if you want to have a read.
