Win8 in Active Directory - remove Apps

  • 772

We have a joined a Win8 Client for the first time to our AD. Before doing so, I removed all uneccessary Apps and Programs which came pre-installed. We have no clean deployable image for this time. After Domain joining and login with a domain user the apps reappeared on the start screen? How can I remove the unwanted stuff permanently? Is there a group policy for controlling the apps?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

Is it even possible to manage these apps per GPO with a domain functional level 2003?

    Did you use DISM to remove the packages?

    Also, you should be able to load the ADMX files on your current domain.
