Updates to Windows App Management in Intune with Winget

Ғылым және технология

Steps for how to import and publish apps into Intune, without hunting down the packages-including EXEs and MSIs, how to self-install apps from the Company Portal, and best practices to smooth your transition if you’re using the Windows Store for Business.
As part of our series on Windows Management, Jason Githens, from the Intune engineering team, gives a deep dive on the updates for easily adding apps into Intune, powered by winget, the new Windows Package Manager.

    Thanks for the update, but speaking of updates, do you have funtionality for keeping the installs of these apps updated, especially given Winget the ability to update applications? It always seems weird to me that users can install applications through company portal but maintaining these installs falls wayside leaving apps vulnerable as they become out of date.

    Hi Richard, thanks for the feedback. We currently do not plan to auto-migrate, but the switchover is pretty straightforward. Locate a previously deployed MSfB app using the new Store app type. Then assign it to your desired groups. That's it, the app will become managed on devices using the new app type. No disruption on the client, just a simple IT admin changeover.

    Someone at Microsoft has forgotten why do-whatever-they-want EXE and MSI installers were not allowed in the Store. The store WAS more than just a list of installable apps. By requiring legacy apps to be APPX packaged, or better, MSIX packaged UWP apps, it got us closer to the security and privacy model that Android, Chrome OS and iOS have. I am thankful I may no longer have to re-package as many applications. However, as long software vendors are allowed to do whatever they want, they have no incentive to change. Without Microsoft putting their foot down, administrators are left to fill the gaps. We are forced to not only take on the added risks associated with these poor software practices and designs, but also attempt to apply safeguards around them, then clean up any messes after a compromise. #ShouldBeUWP #ShouldBeMSIX
