App Deployment Location

Hi All   Sorry if this has been asked before or seems like a silly question.   Anyway, when an app is pushed to a device, where is this located?   Info appreciated.   Stuart
Intune
mobile device management (mdm)

    Hi Stuart,

     

    it depends which channel you are using and which type of app,

    Win32 apps via Intune Management Extension Agent are cached here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Intune Management Extension\Content

     

    Windows LOB apps (single MSI) pushed via MDM channel like the Intune Management Extension Agent itself are cached here during install and then deleted:

    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\mdm

     

    best,

    Oliver

    Oliver Kieselbach What is the meaning of below that I found in event log?

     

    MDM ConfigurationManager: Command failure status. Enrollment Name: (MDMDeviceWithAAD), Provider Name: (Policy), Command Type: (Add: from Replace or Add), CSP URI: (./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall/Receiver/Properties/Policy/FakePolicy/Version), Result: (The system cannot find the file specified.).

      Hey kkzimba,

       

      the "IntuneSupportTeam" gave us the explanation a while ago, see here:

    Hi Oliver, it appears that once installed the Cached content is deleted so is no longer available for any form of MSI self heal event. Do you know if there a away to change this behaviour?

      Hi,

       

      the cache folder was not cleaned up in the beginning. Now the Intune Management Extension cleans up the cache folders after successful installation.

        I have an issue with MSI self-repair in Intune application. After installation executable files will deleted, hence getting this error.
        what is the solution for this?
