Intune Doesn't Install Win32 Apps Until a User Logs On?

Hi, I'm using autopilot in self-deployment mode to provision devices. I have about 10 apps assigned to a dynamic security group that contains my devices. I have ESP configured to allow the user to "C...

HI normally when the win32apps are targetted at a device group, they should be installed. Which version of the intunewinapp util did you use? As I also have seen this happening... what happens when you repack the win32app with a new version of the tool

I know there were some issues with the 04 Dec 2020 release (6.2107.27.0) version

    Hmm, I built my apps over a period of a few months on a different computer which I re-imaged so I'm not sure which version of IntuneWinApp I used for the bulk of them. I re-built one app yesterday using 6.2107.52.0 and that app seems to have the same issue.

    It SEEMS like the issue is that it's not even trying to install anything when the device is logged out OR logged in with a local account. Just looking at the IntuneManagementExtension.log file, it seems like its not even trying to install apps. Sort of like when you look at the appdiscovery.log file for SCCM and its simply not doing anything.

    Or it could be that there's some issue with the local account related to all the token failure errors that is preventing the agent from running app evaluations?

      You are mentioning the only app.. Is it the only app besides the IME msi itself? Also autopilot seemed to be a little bit buggy the last week. Which windows build are you testing with?

        oh yeah, sorry - I have an MSI that installs the Microsoft Monitoring Agent and that installs fine when the device is not yet logged in. That would be separate and in addition to the IME itself.

        Build is 19044.1288

        I'm simultaneously testing Windows Servicing rings so I'm intentionally on an older build. This is a new'ish tenant and basically, I'm in the process of moving everything into Intune. I'm not new to Intune but this is a new role-type that I'm transitioning from AD/SCCM to AAD/Intune and this is one of the first Windows roles to move over.

        thanks for the help
