Deploy MSI / LOB App as Admin

Hi All   Any ideas on how to deploy an MSI  via Intune that requires Admin rights to install on systems where the users are Standard Users?   Info appreciated

    Hey StuartK73,

     

    actually this is the standard scenario for most enterprises. Deploy your MSI LOB app as an Win32 app in Intune:

     

     

    You need to wrap it as an .intunewin (https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool) and then deploy it with the setting Install behavior: System

     

     

    You have to use the silent install parameters for the installer. This depends on the individual setup you are using, setup.exe have often individual ones like /silent /quiet etc. msi should be more standardized and the content prep tool should you support there and generate command lines like: msiexec /i "Notepad++7.6.6.msi" /q for silent install.

     

    The MS documentation is here: 
    Intune Standalone - Win32 app management
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-app-management

     

    best,

    Oliver
