Deploy a Shortcut for RDS using Company Portal

Hi Micheal,

you can easily create a shortcut with a PowerShell script. This can be deployed as a script native with Intune or wrapped in a .intunewin package and deployed as app containing just the simple PowerShell script. I did an example while deploying BGInfo, something like this:

$Shell = New-Object -ComObject ("WScript.Shell")
$ShortCut = $Shell.CreateShortcut("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\BGInfo.lnk")
$ShortCut.TargetPath="`"C:\Program Files\BGInfo\Bginfo64.exe`""
$ShortCut.Arguments="`"C:\Program Files\BGInfo\custom.bgi`" /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt"
$ShortCut.IconLocation = "Bginfo64.exe, 0";
$ShortCut.Save()
