Automatically updating Remote Desktop Manager Windows using Microsoft Intune

To automate the process of updating Remote Desktop Manager on endpoints using Microsoft Intune, two effective approaches can be considered.

Deploying Remote Desktop Manager via Microsoft Store

Remote Desktop Manager is available on the Microsoft Store, making it simple to distribute the application through Intune as an app. This method enables administrators to push the app to devices within a defined group. However, some limitations are associated with this approach:

  • Lack of customizable detection rules: Admins cannot define specific detection rules to support automation, limiting the ability to manage updates or verify installation compliance.

  • Device group dependency: The application will only be installed on the predefined group of devices specified in Intune.

Distributing Remote Desktop Manager updates via Intune apps with a detection rule

Another approach is to distribute Remote Desktop Manager updates through Intune by creating a detection rule. This allows administrators to ensure updates are applied only to targeted devices, such as those already running the current version of Remote Desktop Manager. Key benefits include:

  • Selective updates: Updates are restricted to devices that meet predefined criteria, ensuring compatibility and minimizing disruption.

  • Custom detection rules: Administrators can define specific rules to automate the detection of installed versions and manage updates efficiently.
