Quick Guide for Team Plan

Intune deployment refers to the process of implementing and configuring Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) solution. Intune allows organizations to manage and secure mobile devices, PCs, and applications from a centralized web-based console. 

The following steps guide to help you deploy our PDF Reader Pro via Microsoft Intune. 

Please note: Deployment is not one-size-fits-all, every enterprise is different. This guide should only be used as a reference and not literal. 

Deploy Using Windows App(Win32)

Prerequisites: Please refer to this article by Microsoft. Any prerequisite listed there would also apply to this scenario. 

1. Create two folders in your PC, one named Input and another one Output;

      For example: "C:\PDF Reader Pro\Input" and "C:\PDF Reader Pro\Output"

2. Download Microsoft's Win32 Content Prep Tool to convert the installation files into the .intunewin format;

3. Run the Win32 Content Prep Tool (IntuneWinAppUtil.exe) via CMD as an Administrator. This will create your .intunewin file. 

• • Important: The Input folder should only contain the MSI file.

• • Program

  • Install command: Intune will automatically populate an install command, but it will not include the call to MST. So we recommend inputting the script like:

• • • • msiexec /i "PDF Reader Pro.msi" /qn

      • Extremely important: TEST the install script. If it doesn't work on your computer, it will not work on Intune. 

• • • • ”{4FAA3CBA-6E2A-4AEC-BACE-2E36B57C003A} " is the installation package name, which is different for each installation package. After adding an application to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, it will automatically fill in the uninstallation command

            -> Install Behavior: Will be automatically selected by Intune

            -> Device restart behavior: No specific action

            -> Return codes: leave as is
