Go to the About page, select ‘Install preview builds’ and choose to Upgrade Now. We don’t really need this, but the service will throw warnings if we don’t have a certificate installed.īecause these features are still in preview, we need to manually choose to receive preview builds. Generate a self-signed certificate for the publishing service. If you have requested a trial, this URL will be sent through mail. Start by entering the catalog Information URL, this is the URL used to retrieve all the application information. Configuring the service for first useīefore we can use this preview, we need to set-up the service first. Launch the service after the installation. The installation is really straight forward and is a next-next-finish installation. Now it is time to install the Publishing Service, download the MSI file from the PatchMyPC website. But we just need the WSUS GUI, open up an elevated powershell window and execute the following command: Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices-Ui WSUS is a prequisite for the Publishing Agent. Because the Publishing Service is really light weight, a Standard DS1 v2 VM will suffice. The first thing you need for this project is a Windows Server VM, I choose to do create a simple Windows Server 2016 VM in Azure.
The Publishing Service is an application that needs to be installed on a Windows Server that handles the creation and updating of the applications. Be aware that you need an Enterprise Plus license to have the ability to automatically create applications like we will here. Patch My PC has a 30 day trial available if you want to test this feature out without going out and buying a license. Please be aware that this is currently not supported and that this feature is still in preview. This means Patch My PC can now automate the creation and patching of Win32 Apps in Intune.Īs of now, this still requires a Windows VM to run the publishing service on and assumes you are using a hybrid set-up where you use Patch My PC for both SCCM and Intune.ĭuring this blog post I will go through the setups to set this up on a standalone server, which you would set-up if your organization has migrated to a full cloud environment. Last week Patch My PC announced theirpreview for Win32 Application Management for Intune.
This is an amazing product that simplifies your Third Party Application deployment and patching.
Patch My PC is probably the most known product for Automated Third Party Application Patch Management with SCCM integration.
