Deploy Adobe packages using Microsoft Intune

  • January 19, 2022

You can now use Microsoft Intune to deploy Windows 64-bit packages created on the Adobe Admin console.

 

Prerequisites

To use Intune, ensure the following criteria are met:

  • Your end-user machines must use Windows 10 version 1607 or later (Enterprise, Pro, or Education editions).
  • The package that you download from the Adobe Admin Console must not be greater than 8 GB. (For more, read the Intune app prerequisites.)

 

This article guides you through the process of creating an Intune app, that you'll use to deploy Adobe Windows 64-bit packages created on the Adobe Admin Console.

 

  1. To deploy your package using Intune, you'll first need to download the Intune Win 32 prep Tool. Note: This is a one-time task.
  2. You will use the Intune Win 32 prep Tool to create an output Intune file from your Adobe package.
  3. Finally, you'll Publish the output Intune file to Microsoft Intune. Publishing the file creates an Intune app and then deploys your package to your target group.

    Many thanks for such a quick answer,

     

    What are the install/uninstall commands?

     

    I tried 

     

    setup.exe /s

    and

    setup.exe /x /s

     

    and eventually had a "Failed to install' message in Company POrtal on my test device.

     

    TIA

     


    The install/uninstall commands if you are using the setup.exe file is

     

    setup.exe --silent

    msiexec x/ {Product ID}

     

    Make sure to go to the MSI installer package and get the product ID and insert it there.

     

    Honestly though, I suggest that you use the MSI package to install instead of the setup.exe package. When converting your Adobe CC Build folder, use the MSI package as your setup file. Intune will auto-populate the install and uninstall commands. Here is the article that helped me out.

    Use these steps and you'll be able to install from the company portal without fail.

    Hello,

    I am getting a fatal error message when I try to push the app using both the .msi and .exe.

    Do I need to leave the .msi or the .exe file in the folder with the resources and packages folder when running the Win 32 app to build the intune win32? I am testing Intune as we are moving away from Workspace One, for Workspace One, I had to upload the whole zip as the install would fail if the other files were not in the directory with the .exe or .msi. 

    Thank you.

    You leave both the .msi and the .exe in there. Extract all of your zip folder and use that folder as the source folder. I had previously posted the answer if you want to scroll up and take a look at it.

    Will we get a guide for deploying MSP files for updates as well?

      I have had good success with this with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere (with After Effects). They all install perfectly which is a extremely satisfying and a big step towards completing my BYOD system. 

      My problem is Acrobat Pro DC, if it's deployed as its own package or bundled with Photoshop & Others in a package for example, Company Portal says successful but Acrobat DC is not visible as an desktop app in either Windows 10 or 11. The other applications in the bundle install fine. 

      Is this a known issue and is a fix available or coming?

       

      TIA

        for me it still fails when intalling via Intune as I created the package as the steps in article:
        https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/deploy-packages-using-ms-intune.html

         

        What I find really weird it that it does not give a uninstall command example or how it should be. So I packaged itfirst with the MSI from the files and then you get a GUID from it. Then used the same process, but then for the executable. But still it fails to install.
        Install command: setup.exe --silent

        Uninstall command: msiexec /x "{D7B55527-DD87-4502-B5EF-0AC58F0220AD}" /q /norestart

        Rules format
        Manually configure detection rules
        Detection rules
        MSI {D7B55527-DD87-4502-B5EF-0AC58F0220AD}

        What Am I doing wrong?

        Are you installing just the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app? Or are you installing it with Adobe Acrobat as well?

         

        If you are installing just the ACC Desktop app, you should use the .msi when you're converting the app with the Intune Wrapping Tool. If you are installing ACC along with Acrobat, then you must use the setup.exe. 

         

        If you're using the .msi then the install and uninstall information will auto-populate. If you're using the setup.exe file, then you will have to manually enter in the install/uninstall commands.
