Autopilot ESP blocked apps ordering
I’m using windows autopilot with ESP enabled to ensure certain win32 apps and m365 apps for enterprise are installed before the user is allowed to sign in to windows 10 desktop. I understand that both are tracked during esp but is there any way to enforce installation ordering ? Win32 apps can have dependencies which offer some capability but I can’t make a dependency between a win32 app and the app for m365 apps for enterprise. Is there any capability to create ordering in this regard?
- You could change the installation of M365 apps to a Win32 App?
- You could change the installation of M365 apps to a Win32 App?
- Yep... that would be the first think I was also thinking off...
https://call4cloud.nl/2021/02/office-csp-vs-win32app-dawn-of-justice/ - This is what I ended up doing (on your advice) and then created a dependancy tree of applications in Intune to control installation order. I also noted that I only needed to assign the top node of that dependancy tree and the dependancies would install without being assigned which somehwat simplified this! Thanks for the feedback.
- Ah, nice! Good to hear and dependency is a nice feature
Thanks for the reply Harm_Veenstra , indeed this is what I ended up doing. Works well and easy to implemenet with a little powershell.
- Using PowerShell is always a good idea 🙂
- Bump
- Any update?
- Currently, Windows Autopilot with ESP doesn't offer a direct method to enforce installation ordering between Win32 apps and M365 apps for enterprise. While dependencies can be set within Win32 apps, there's no native capability to link them with M365 apps. However, you might explore scripting or custom deployment solutions to orchestrate a sequential installation sequence based on your specific dependencies, ensuring a desired order of installation.
