Microsoft has finally released there Teams app for Windows a MSI file – this makes the deployment with Intune easy, instead of the old .exe installer.
Microsoft has provided MSI files (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
In this blogpost I will show two ways to upload the Microsoft teams App to Intune – there is the hard way and the easy way, the hard way is in the Intune Portal and the easy way is by using the Intune Graph API powershell script from Dave Falkus @DaveFalkus to upload MSI files to Intune.
The hard way is to download the Microsoft Teams MSI from the links above.
Go into the Intune portal
Click Mobile Apps
Click Apps
Click Add
Select App type – “Line-of-business app”
Select – “App package file”
Browse for the previous download Microsoft Teams MSI file
Select – “App information”
- Enter Description – “Microsoft Teams MSI”
- Enter Publisher – “Microsoft”
Wait for the upload to complete and you are ready to deploy.
The easy way it with Microsoft Intune Graph API – and thanks to Microsoft’s Dave Falkus it is easy for the rest of us.
With the Application_LOB_Add.ps1 script you just need to change from line 1377 and the rest of the script.
First download the Application_LOB_Add.ps1 script from https://github.com/microsoftgraph/powershell-intune-samples/tree/master/LOB_Application
Change the line from 1377 with this:
#################################################### #### MSI Install microsoft Teams 64 bit $output = "$PSScriptRoot\teams64bit.msi" Start-BitsTransfer -Source http://aka.ms/teams64bitmsi -Destination $output Upload-MSILob "$output" -publisher "Microsoft" -description "Microsoft Teams 64Bit" #### MSI Install microsoft Teams 32 bit $output = "$PSScriptRoot\teams32bit.msi" Start-BitsTransfer -Source http://aka.ms/teams32bitmsi -Destination $output Upload-MSILob "$output" -publisher "Microsoft" -description "Microsoft Teams 32Bit"
Run the script and you are ready to deploy Microsoft Teams 32/64 Bit as MSI files from Intune.
Download the script here.
Then Microsoft Teams 32/64 bit MSI files are ready to deploy.
