Please confirm:

  • I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
  • **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.

Problem Statement

A standard to disable the Microsoft 365 companiob app would save much time. Currently, if we want to disable this, we would need to go to every tenant, to disable one checkbox. Also, the option is very hidden away, so this would save a lot of time clicking to the correct setting.

Benefits for MSPs

This reduces much manual work in every tenant. Now, we would need to go to every tenant to do this, while a standard would allow us to push this to every tenant.

Value or Importance

The Microsoft 365 companion apps are applications that automatically install on every PC. These are 3 apps, that all automatically start on PC startup.
Installation of these apps are opt-out, so automatically enabled for every tenant. Microsoft is currently in the process to push this to users with Microsoft 365 apps Preview channel, but this will not take long until it is GA.

PowerShell Commands (Optional)

I cannot find any PowerShell commands to achieve this, but the documentation is in here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-apps/companions/overview.
The checkbox should be unticked on config.office.com.

Config.office.com does not seem to be available via GDAP or Graph, so currently not possible unless I missed it, sorry. :(
