Skype removal

[cpruitt]

Looking for the best way to create a policy to remove Skype for Business from all Macs in our environment.

@cpruitt You might find this MS document helpful as the basis of writing a removal script: How to do a clean uninstallation of Skype for Business on Mac

@sdagley Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Feel free to use this as a jump point. I normally remove the basic user folders since this app gets reinstalled a lot but you can add the rest of the folders if needed.

#!/bin/sh

consoleuser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')

echo "logged in user is" $consoleuser

pkill -f Skype

security delete-generic-password -l "Skype for Business" /Users/$consoleuser/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

folders=(
"/Applications/Skype for Business.app"
"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/MeetingJoinPlugin.plugin"
#
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.SkypeForBusiness"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Logs/LwaTracing"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.SkypeForBusiness.savedState"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.SkypeForBusiness.plist"
)

search="*"


for i in "${folders[@]}"
do
    echo "removing folder ${i}"
    rm -rf "${i}"
done

if [ $? == 0 ]; then
     echo "Success"
else
     echo "Failure"
fi

@r... If you put a code block tag (the triple back-tick - ```) before and after your script it won't be mangled when displayed

What about killing the process with Restricted Software and doing an app removal if someone tries to execute it? - Just throwing ideas out there :)
