InTune Installation

Many of our clients have successfully used InTune to deploy our software across their network.

The best example we came across was when used in conjunction with the PSAppDeployToolkit from https://psappdeploytoolkit.com/

This allows you to create a script for all the installation tasks including pre and post installation jobs such as installing prerequisites, certificates and copying config files.

All the files (msi, config, certificates etc) are saved within a folder structure and this can then be packaged up and deployed using InTune.

An example script is here - Deploy-Application.ps1

Please email support@kutana.co.uk if you would like a copy of the pre-prepared folder structure.

This allows some interaction with users, allowing them to save work and close apps before the installation begins.

The below shows the part of the script which installs prerequisites, certificate and Kappris Print before copying the config.ini file to the correct location.
