Introduction

This article will guide you through the process of mass deploying the Windows Agent using Microsoft Intune. It provides you with the steps, parameters and guidelines required for a successful Footprint Agent installation.

Prerequisites

For a successful deployment you must have:

• latest Exe installer available (FootprintAgentInstaller.exe) on the Footprint platform.

• Microsoft Intune Management Portal

• The Microsoft Intune Windows App-Wrapping Tool (available on Github )

Wrapping the .exe Installer

1. After having downloaded the Intune Wrapping Tool, create an additional folder which will contain the .exe installer and one which is going to contain the Wrap output. It is not necessary to create an additional folder for each, but it is recommended.
   

   

2. Then run the IntuneWinAppUtil and introduce, when prompted, the source folder for the .exe installer, the name of the installer (FootprintAgentInstaller.exe) and the previously-made output folder (if it had not been created already, then it will be automatically created by the application when prompted), respectively.
   

   

Deploying in Intune

1. In the Intune admin center go to Apps > All Apps in your Microsoft Intune Admin Center and click on the Add button.

2. Select Windows app (Win32) for the App type.

3. Add the previously-created intune file as the App package file.

4. Fill out the App Information and Program page:

• Name: Footprint Agent Installer

• Publisher: CODA Intelligence S.R.L

• Information URL: https://support.codaintelligence.com/hc/en-us/articles/9672466824476-Deploy-Procedures-Windows-Agent

• Install command (please make sure to replace server url and token with the values from the Agents' Deployment Page in your Footprint environment):

FootprintAgentInstaller.exe /S -serverurl [server url] -token [token] -tags “[any tags desired]"

• Uninstall command

C:\Program Files (x86)\Footprint\Uninstaller.exe /S

4. The Footprint Agent does not have any particular requirements so the Requirements page can be left as default. The same is applicable to the Dependencies and Supersedence pages.

5. Add the necessary detection rule:
   

   

6. Review the app information and create the app. After a short time the Footprint Agent Installer should appear in the managed users' Company Portal.
