Configuring Dell BIOS Settings using Intune Win32App and PowerShell

Troubleshooting Intune Win32app deployments
In Configuration Manager we always had log files for everything, extremely useful when troubleshooting. In Intune we have the event log and the MDMDiagnosticsTool which is our best friends.

Intune Win32 App deployment – A gamechanger
One of the biggest limitations in Microsoft Intune has been that we can only deploy single-file .MSI’s and not .EXE installers. With the release of Win32app install support (in Preview) that limitation is now gone! Not only does it support legacy setups like .exe files for instance we can also use it for advanced .MSI…
