Description

• Trying to deploy agents to an environment that uses Microsoft Entra ID/Intune
  • NOTE: Cloud based domain, no probe possible
• Possible to deploy software via Intune via app deployment, but it fails installation with command line used.

Environment

• N-able N-central

Solution

• Deploying with Intune is possible with the following steps:

1. Extract the MSI from the installer.
2. Create an intunewin package using the intune package converter "InTuneWinAppUtil.exe" (found on github):
   • https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool
3. Upload the package to Intune.
4. Use the following command:
   • msiexec /i "windowsagent.msi" /q CUSTOMERID="123" CUSTOMERNAME="Name of client" SERVERPROTOCOL="https" SERVERADDRESS="Address of Server" SERVERPORT="443"
   • REGISTRATION_TOKEN=<registration token> is also necessary if using N-able N-central 2020.1 or higher.
