Teams EDU + Intune Education
Hi Grant,
I saw your post and was a bit amazed since I always thought it should be possible to install .exe files using Intune. So I tried this:
1. I downloaded an .exe file for MS Teams from https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads
2. I went to my Intune portal and went to apps. I was able to successfully add the .exe file as an app.
3. I implemented the app to my Windows 10 group (WIndows 10 devices)
4. On starting a Windows 10 client from that group, Teams was installed.
What of the above steps do not work for you as expected?
Hi Mike,
If I attempt to upload a .exe file, Intune throws an error telling me that .exe is not an allowed extension. It then says that .msi, .appx, and .appxbundle are the only allowed extensions (for Windows).
So this is what I see on InTune for Education when I click Add a Desktop App. Can you provide more details how you were able to upload a .EXE?
Interesting... I have to admit that my check from yesterday was in a normal Intune portal so I jsut checked on my EDU Intune portal.
From the main menu, I navigated to Apps in the left pane, selected apps and then clicked on Add an App from the top menu. The following dialog appears:
So it launched the Microsoft Intune Software Publisher to add the .exe files.
This way I was able to add Teams_Windows_X64.exe with the -s switch for a silent install which works on a Win 10 dekstop.
Mike PlatvoetAre you at the the Intune Education dashboard? (intuneeducation.portal.azure.com)? The UI in your screenshot is completely different from what I see.
