How to provisioned Company Portal with MDT image deployment

With AzureAD joined and Intune MDM controlled Windows 10 devices I like to provide the user access to the company portal.

If this is a 1:1 device I will just deploy the Company Portal App with intune to the user.

But in a scenario where there is many users on 1 device – we need to provisioned the Company Portal App as part of a image. In this blogpost I will show how it is done with MDT.

Before we get started there is some prerequisite that need to be in place.

We need a Azure AD that allows us to signup for Microsoft Windows Store for Business.

The Windows Store for Business needs to be configured.

First login in to the Windows Store for Business with a global admin.

Search for Company Portal.

Select the Company Portal App

Then get the APP – if you like in my case already own the app then select Offline and manage

Then Download the App

Generate the Unencoded licens

Save the .xml file

Now you have the Company Portal App file and license file ready to create a deployment packages in the deployment system – in this case MDT.

Creating the Company Portal as an App in the deployment system – in this case MDT.

I start by creating a folder with the App name: Microsoft.CompanyPortal

In the folder I create a install script file and a source folder

In the source folder put the previous downloaded app and license file

The install script can look like this – there is many ways to create a install script to provisioned and Appx packaged.
