Application auto upgrade not working

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy applications with auto upgrade but nothing happens. Let me explain what I'm doing :

  • App_V1 is deployed as available to a user collection
  • I install the app, nothing special here
  • App_V2 is set to supersede App_V1 with uninstall checkbox (I need that in my environment)
  • I deploy App_V2 as available to the same user collection with the checkbox "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of the application"
  • In the software center, I can see App_V2 with the install button (App_V1 is hidden, expected), but nothing else happens

If I check the logs, I can see in PolicyAgent.log :

  • A line starting with "Compiling policy <deploymentID>/supersedence..."
  • Then a line starting with "Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_AssignmentDisabled...<some assignment info>
  • Nothing else

I don't know how to further troubleshoot that situation. Can someone give me some clues ?

Thanks

App Management

    Thanks for your reply.

    Sorry, I realize that I'm not using the right channel... I'm talking about SCCM/MECM/MCM.

    It seems I can't move the thread so I will start a new one in the right channel.

    Hi,

    It is not possible to get an "auto-upgrade" on applications that is deployed as Available in CM, you can only get that functionality if the deployments are configured as Required.

     

    It's only possible to get this "auto upgrade" functionality for Available deployments of Win32 Apps in Intune.

      That's just wrong.

      CM had auto updates for available Apps for the longest time, and in CM this used to work. I personally used it for half a decade in multiple customer enviremonts.

      Then we migrated all out customers to Intune last year and now we are fighting with the fact that this feature is partly broken in Intune.

        If it's possible to achieve auto-upgrade on Available deployed apps in CM (without switching over to a Required deployment) then why not describe how  you did it?
