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()compare my blog post install.ps1 here: https://oliverkieselbach.com/2018/12/15/deploying-win32-app-bginfo-with-intune/

Hmm... Created the web link, but it does not show in Company Portal??
Okay not the best experience but maybe something you like to have anyway. I targeted it to "All Users" with assignment of "Available with or without enrollment" and got the link as featured app. but the link still shows install, after clicking install it installs the web link to the start menu where you can click and open the website...
So try the different assignment and make sure you target it to users.

Got it using the same assignment :)
While we are at it - du you now if its possible to add a mapped drive using Powershell? in the Portal?
Tried using
New-PSDrive -Name "P" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\Share\Folder" -Persist -Credential
- But again - not showing...
Try packaging your script with the new Win32 deployment feature and target it as user assignment for available, you should see it and the script should work with the Intune Mangement Extension.

- Hi Oliver
Just another question.....
This is working just fine - but is it possible to to deploythe weblink directly to the desktop?
Either in the same workflow or another?Hi Micheal,
