Teams EDU + Intune Education
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.

Grant, I use the Intune portal that I access from my O365 administration panel (I have O365 EDU tenant, and Intune EDU licenses). You can select it from the left pane at the bottom and from there you will be directed to the normal intune portal (https://admin.manage.microsoft.com/MicrosoftIntune/) that works for Education as well. If you go there to the Apps en then from top menu of the list select add an app then you should be able to add Teams as an .exe application (I managed to do this).
