r/PatchMyPC

Hi. Im SCCM admin. But still new. Need some info if it possible to automate Application packaging in MECM. Consider the apps not supported by PatchMyPC.

Im talking like if possible to Create the package using powershell without need to go through traditional process like:

1. Put the software in network Drive

2. Create new Application in Console.

3. Put the info one by one from the content source to the intallations program to the detection method all the Way until completed.

Deploying apps and updating them is costing me a lot of time.

I'm good at it, but it feels like a total waste of time. Looked into Microsoft Intune Enterprise Application Management, but the main apps we use aren't in there (Autocad, Bricscad, Bluebeam, Revit). All very large apps.

From a security perspective i don't want to install an extra managing client on our workstations. I want Intune to remain the only connection a device has, in terms of possibility to send/update apps, policies, etc.

Now i know PatchMyPc can integrate into Intune and create and update apps. But that means giving DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite application permissions. This is a big supplychain risk. If someone we're to hack PatchMyPatch they could just create or update a package, deploy it, and watch the mayhem unfold. All coming from trusty Intune.

Is it possible to have PatchMyPc create the installer, but download and upload the intunewin files myself?

Granted it found 4449 devices with a certain app but when i click on the count number to see the devices it always gives me this error.
