If you are using Intune to push out the PowerSyncPro Migration Agent, then there is a possibility it could be uninstalled / removed during the execution of the migration agent part way through and your migration will fail to complete.
If the Intune App deployment is configured under assignments as “Required” - then when a device is de-registered from the Source Intune / Entra as part of a migration, the PowerSyncPro application will be uninstalled.
Intune Required App v Available for enrolled devices.
Please thoroughly end-to-end test your migration in advance of a production roll-out.
If this is likely to be an issue for then you can use a Pre-Migration command script to prevent this happening.
Create a ps1 file with the following code:
$PSPUninstallItems = @(Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | ? { $_.GetValue('displayName') -eq 'PowerSyncPro Migration Agent' } )
$ManagedApplications = @(Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EnterpriseDesktopAppManagement -Recurse)
Foreach( $PSPUninstallItem in $PSPUninstallItems ) {
$ManagedPSPApplications = @($ManagedApplications | ? { $_.GetValue('ProductCode') -eq $PSPUninstallItem.PSChildName })
foreach( $ManagedPSPApplication in $ManagedPSPApplications ) {
Remove-Item $ManagedPSPApplication.PSPath -Recurse -Force
}
}Save it as BlockIntuneUninstallofPSP.ps1
Create a cmdline.cmd file with the following code:
start /WAIT PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File .\BlockIntuneUninstallofPSP.ps1Add both files into a zip file and call it BlockIntuneUninstallofPSP.zip
Add this to the Start-Up tab of your Runbook
This will prevent the uninstall of PowerSyncPro deployed from Intune by updating the Registry Keys.
