We’re missing a way for Intune to detect unmanaged installations of “Available” assigned applications. Currently, updating or taking over management is difficult if the app wasn’t installed via Intune. This calls for workarounds, multiple versions of the same application and tweaked “Required” assignments.

A simple solution would be a “checkmark” similar to the “AutoUpdate” function in Supersedence. If checked, Intune would check if detection is met and mark the application as installed. This would make applications installed outside Intune manageable within Intune, allowing admins to update them via superseded versions.

The checkmark solution, compared to Intune automatically checking and detecting all “Available” assigned apps, minimises resource and time consumption on Intune Syncs.

I look forward to an insightful and constructive session.
