Whatever your combination of public retail apps, private apps, and line-of-business apps, get tips to help you deploy and manage your app estate like a pro—making sure that app data stays within your organization while giving users the access they need.
This Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) is part of Tech Community Live: Microsoft Intune edition. 📃 For the full agenda, see: https://aka.ms/TCL/Intune
0:00 – Welcome & introductions
2:49 – Question – WinGet, Store, EAM.... so many catalogs of Windows apps. Why use one over the other?
5:14 – Question – This question is more on Intune MAM side, will there ever be a day when we can have multiple work accounts on a BYOD device under MAM controls? Is this being investigated and/or worked on?
7:38 – Question – What are best practices in relation to authorizing third-party applications?
13:17 – Question – What is the best practice for app deployment with Intune?
18:29 – Question – Can we have better reporting for apps when they fail rather than depending on scripting to create a log file and dig for that file? -- Maybe talk about what's available today and where we are investing.
21:42 – Question – What would be easiest way to migrate existing applications from SCCM to Intune?
24:02 – Question – Are there any plans to have Application Groups (like in ConfigMgr) in Intune?
24:36 – Question – I am trying to use Microsoft Connected Caches for Enterprise to expedite delivery of Intune win32 apps. Especially extremely large packages. It doesn't seem to be working for us at the moment. Is there anything more you are doing or could be doing to ensure that (a) we can cache or encourage these things to cache locally and (b) we can monitor and troubleshoot it more easily? The monitoring for MCC seems to report very low figures for Intune.
26:48 – Question – Is there any plan for the ability to auto update apps with EAM without the need to monitor for apps with updates and manually selecting update?
28:13 – Question – What are best practices for deploying applications that install in the User Profile rather than the C Drive? Especially including App Control for Business as the system you are using to prevent installation paths such as the User Profile.
34:04 – Question – What are the current best practices for handling parallel versions of the same Win32 app in Intune, especially in scenarios where multiple versions can conflict with detection rules or supersedence during Autopilot provisioning?
37:47 – Question – Can you please explain how to deploy apps using the new PowerShell script feature?
40:00 – Question – What is the best way to UPDATE Win32 Apps, when an app version is packaged as win32 but for install method, a power shell script been used? (The PS script is a great move, btw.)
41:15 – Question – We deploy Office Apps via Intune (fully Intune environment) When I go to Monitor -Discovered Apps there are many different versions, eg Microsoft.OutlookForWindows has 30+ Different version numbers. Currently deploying on Current Channel, is there any way to bring them all up to the latest version without having to manually select a specific version number in a faster way?
45:52 – Question – Are we building anything like software metering. Usage reports are really important for licensed apps. If there is a custom solution, could you please clarify it?
47:52 – Question – We have macOS devices enrolled without user affinity. Is there a way to deploy apps as available in Company Portal rather than them being required? if not is this in development at all? Loving the sessions, some great questions/answers that have been really helpful.
49:42 – Final thoughts
