help with remediation
Hi, i'm trying to create detection and remediation scripts for intune to detect the presence of a template in the users word startup folder
**My detection is as follows**
$path = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup\ACS Template 2010 2013 2016 (2) (1).dotm"
if (Test-Path $path) {
Write-Output "File exists: $path"
exit 1 # Success, file exists
} else {
Write-Output "File not found: $path"
exit 0 # Failure, file does not exist
**My remediation**
$path = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup\ACS Template 2010 2013 2016 (2) (1).dotm"
if (Test-Path $path) {
Remove-Item -Path $path -Force
It seems like the detection works as the detection status is "without issues" but the remediation doesn't run.
Any advice on how to correct this very much welcomed
Based off of very quick and brief glance, I think you need to update your code:
if ( (Test-Path $path )-eq $true ) { Write-Output "File exists: $path" exit 1 } ## My Remediation if ( (Test-Path $path) -eq $true ) { Remove-Item -Path $path -Force }Are you able to test your detection script and remediation scripts on a test PC or server?
The detection script should return the exit code 1 and then that what triggers the remediation script.
