    Here is a thought... since you have a large number of user's that you need to affect, perhaps you can do this:

    1. Create a batch file that does the following:

    rmdir /Q /S "%homepath%\Local Settings\Application Data\KVS\Enterprise Vault"

    REG Delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Client" /f

    2. Set some sort of GPO to run this on the assocated user's as some log off script.

    3. Assign the users you want to remove VV to this GPO.

    - As this runs during logoff, it will remove the VV and VC footprints from the workstation

    hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Does anyone has tried removing Vault via commands provided in this article? I am able to remove the Vault client software and cache & registry vault with below script but Vault folder "Vault - USER NAME" is still visible in outlook 2016 folder panel.

    Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Vault client version is 12.0.4.1124  (x64bit) and for 32bit some users we have (12.1.1.1451).

     rmdir /Q /S "%userprofile%\appdata\Local\KVS\Enterprise Vault"

     REG Delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KVS\Enterprise Vault" /f

    Regards,

    Waqas
