I don’t really like that we deploy DattoRMM and it puts a folder in the start menu called CentraStage.
I found that the actual start menu folder is kept in programdata and not in the user profile, so what I did was create a powershell script to remove the CentraStage folder, then created a Component to run the script & added it onto the intial audit Job. This way as the computer checks in, it runs the initial audit & then removes the folder.
This is the script:
Remove-Item -LiteralPath "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CentraStage" -Force -Recurse
Thats basically it, just a simple one liner & now when we deploy a new computer it still adds the start menu items, but then it deletes them.
I think I will also setup a monitor soon and use the monitor to see if the menu item comes back & if it does then it will run the component again, but that is a mission for another day.
