Another interesting part would be the Zero-Configuration MSI Deployment. Insert MSI into Dirfiles and get started. No parameters are required.
Thank you for the video!

your videos are so valueable! Any chance you could do a troubleshooting series about MDM policies in intune?

I have a conceptual problem with the overall app assignment options in Intune and also Im working on a strategy to have all our provisioned apps through Intune constantly updated.

As an Administrator you want that your apps which you provide are being constantly updated. So the move would be that you package the apps that you want to provide constantly and set them on required. I standardized the app packaging with powershell app deployment toolkit lately.
The problem with that is, that in the ESP phase, all required apps get installed if you enroll new autopilot devices and that slows down your ESP installation phase.

How do you guys work with that? What is your general strategy to update and maintain provisioned apps? Do you use something like evergreen / PSPackageFactory in combination with PSADT?

The problem is all the software you cant get in msi format and no silent install parameters for the exe

The thing is multiple profiles will be used on the computer. So let's say user 1 logs in he/she has access to those programs set with the specific settings within the application. User 2 logs in, and those same application programs should apply to user 2, user 3, user 4, etc. Is this possible through MDT? an example of this would be the "command prompt" or "Textpad" the text size, fonts, and color are set as specific settings it should apply to all newly logged-in users.

I heard this is possible through PSADT but im new to the program any help would be great

Is there a way to Uninstall an older version of an app and then install the new version all in the same script?

I edit the XML file so the default install option is /QN instead of /QB!
