- Are you also saying in the future state we might have the ability to take the app discovery and then import that into Enterprise App Managment so that we can keep unknown apps updated for end users?
How about customer specific applications. Think about apps that have customer specific settings configured (by manipulating an INI file) or applications that are not publicly available?
Solutions like Liquit can work with variables and you have the ability like manipulating ini files.
Another interesting addon could be monitoring application usage. I, as an IT Pro, would like to know which apps I can uninstall and ditch from Intune by monitoring usage of applications.
I would love to elaborate more on the things I came across and why we sometimes use Liquit instead of Intune.- Have you checked Endpoint analytics' application usage functionality? It can give you insights about application crashes and also about application usage. It is free for Intune customers!
- There used to be a cool bit that compared app crashes/stability anonymously across industries, not just your own tenant. Very useful info, wish that was still there!
Great to hear Joe_Lurie! My experience is that apps like the Adobe Suite or the Autodesk Apps have pretty big differences in configurations per customer. Both organizations have a configuration portal and then you can download the full suite for redistribution.
Maybe a collab between Microsoft and those companies can be very interesting. That would certainly make Microsoft unique. Those aren't available through WINGET I believe 😉
- We are using Patchmypc atm. How would you sell this product over Patchmypc?
- For self-updating applications when will there be a simple "Always Latest" per-app option so admins do not have to keep checking the Updates page / modifying an application / entering a higher minimum version / messing with precedence and supersedence? This is how most 3rd-party SUSes behave by default.
- yeah, but what about when that auto update fails - then we need to step in with a new version, which means we still need to package the app. What we'd like is for example, to is package Chrome Stable and put version to 'latest', and every time a new version of Chrome Stable channel lands, Intune just updates our deployed app automatically.
- Will there be a way to click on the application on that report and see a list of what devices will be targeted for the update?

Microsoft
mlawniczak123 Today, the Updates for Win32 Catalog app node only shows the deployed catalog apps that have an available update, not the devices where the app is installed. There may be additional reports that show that information (for example, MDE does a good job of reporting what devices have what version of an app installed). But this has not been rolled into EAM.
- Application icons?
- Joe_Lurie
davidboswelllisd This was answered in another question (by Panu) in this post.
- Is adding the ability to add and run a pre or a post install script to the application package on the roadmap? If not can it be 🙂
- Joe_Lurie
Nathan_Lockwood That's a request that we've heard a couple times. Intune made pre- and post- scripts available in macOS app installations (pkg files) and we are investigating Windows OS. At this time, we do not have a date to share on adding pre and post scripts, but it is something we are looking at.
- This is a game changer
- Friends don't let friends to deploy apps without an app icon! 🙂 During the demo the app logo is not automatically added. Will app icons be available when the feature is released, so you don't need to manually add the icons?
- Joe_Lurie
PanuSaukko Agree. This is something that we are working on but will not be available on Feb 1, 2024. We decided it was more important to make this solution generally available while continuing to work on icons, as opposed to saying that icons are so important that we will delay the GA of EAM 🙂
Icons are coming. Stay tuned.
