Event details
Thanks for participating in Unpacking Endpoint Management! Below are the questions our panelists answered, along with associated timestamps:
Question – How do we keep application packaging from becoming a full-time job? - answered at 5:34.
Question – When should I use Enterprise App Management versus packaging my own Win32 apps? - answered at 9:30.
Question – Are pre- and post-install scripts coming to EAM apps? - answered at 10:56.
Question – How should we approach app protection vs device management for BYOD mobile devices? - answered at 12:07.
Question – How do I standardize app deployments across multiple tenants? - answered at 13:45.
Question – Why might app deployments work perfectly in testing but fail at scale? What are some common issues that we can [take] steps to prevent? - answered at 16:46.
Question – When it comes to app vulnerability issues, what's the fastest way to remove vulnerable software from thousands of devices? - answered at 20:06.
Question – How does EAM handle language packs and architecture-specific installers? - answered at 29:02.
Question – Any new monitoring tools or insights for app failures as a feature in Intune in the future pipeline? - answered at 29:33.
Question – I more often than not use proactive remediation scripting to create "evergreen" installers for software from vendors to handle detection and installation over using the apps section in Intune. Is there any downside to handling app installations this way? - answered at 31:04.
Question – Does EAM update user-based apps, where the user has installed it on their user profile? - answered at 35:44.
Question – Do we have the ability to use custom attributes, like silent parameters? - answered at 38:04.
Question – In ConfigMgr, it's very easy to establish collections based off installed/uninstalled applications, app versions, and plenty of other queries. Is there any way to dynamically scope deployments of apps and scripts to machines similar to how ConfigMgr could scope collections? Creating dynamic machine groups in Intune appears to be extremely limited. We don't want every single app deployment to be evaluated on every single system unnecessarily if there's a good way to reign in the scope of each deployment. - answered at 38:58.
Question – We want to make an application available both as a standalone and also tied to a dependency. However, we have found that dependent applications in Intune cannot be uninstalled regardless of whether the parent application is installed or not on the device. How should we approach this? - answered at 42:30.
Question – How often are new apps added to the Enterprise App Catalog? What's the process for adding one? - answered at 44:46.
Question – Will EAM app installers that install in the system context automatically remove existing user-context installs for the app? - answered at 46:02.
Question – With the discussions around app failures and remediation, how can Intune help identify and manage vulnerabilities across endpoints? - answered at 48:22.
Question – When should I use supersedence vs uninstall/install replacement approaches? - answered at 55:09.
