How to create partial lockdown of StartMenu with Intune

With Windows 10 build 1511 it is possible to create a partial lockdown of the startmenu.

First you need to export the startmenu from power shell:

Export-StartLayout C:\temp\startmenu_officemobile.xml

Then you need to change the startmenu for your need ex like this for Office Mobile:

<LayoutModificationTemplate Version=”1″ xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification”&gt;
<LayoutOptions StartTileGroupCellWidth=”8″ />
<DefaultLayoutOverride LayoutCustomizationRestrictionType=”OnlySpecifiedGroups”>
<StartLayoutCollection>
<defaultlayout:StartLayout GroupCellWidth=”8″ xmlns:defaultlayout=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout”&gt;
<start:Group Name=”Office Mobile” xmlns:start=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout”&gt;
<start:Tile Size=”2×2″ Column=”0″ Row=”0″ AppUserModelID=”Microsoft.Office.Word_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.word” />
<start:Tile Size=”2×2″ Column=”2″ Row=”0″ AppUserModelID=”Microsoft.Office.Excel_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.excel” />
<start:Tile Size=”2×2″ Column=”4″ Row=”0″ AppUserModelID=”Microsoft.Office.PowerPoint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.pptim” />
