This tool will package and convert your application to the new. Sidenote: Remember you will need a free volume distribution license in order to distribute Adobe software to your clients.

The application will now be uploaded to Microsoft Intune. When ready assign it to a user or device group as usual. If you have assigned a PowerShell script previously, the Intune Management Extension will be installed already. If not, It should be automatically pushed by Intune, prior to the app deployment.
My test devices already had PowerShell scripts assigned so the Intune Management Extension is already installed. If not, the deployment of Adobe will firstr trigger the installation for the Intune Management Extension, followed by the installation of Adobe.
To do so run the command;. You can monitor the installation status from the Intune management portal. The Intune Management Extension will trigger the installation and you will receive 3 notifications;.
The first notification will tell you there is a change to come. The second one will inform you the download has started and finally when the software is installed the third notification will show. After the last notification, the Start menu shows the newly installed Adobe Reader DC app and there will be a shortcut on the Desktop. Open the IntuneManagementExtension.

Use the default app association CSP from Intune. Many thanks for your quick response. I had already covered the 2 recommendations before posting my original question, but without really benefiting from either. I followed the instructions closely. It worked after I downloaded the installation file again, creating a new intune file and then creating a new app in Intune.
I did everything identically to the first time, but this time it worked for some reason. Next time, check the InTune notifications in Azure — I got this message, but it was because the files were still uploading in the background.
Suggest adding a Sort-Object in to the command to make life easier:. Hi Idigorasu, Did you fix this? Check your exe filename to be sure and try to run this line on a test device in a cmd prompt.
I have a question. So maybe you installed the version 1. How would you bring that to all of your devices? Have you done something like that? Really good guide for Adobe. Have just one short problem.. Uninstall… if I use just cmd so everything seem be ok but if I want the same proces by Intune — Assignments — Uninstall — Group or Account so nothing happened.. Same problem I have if I want make update to new verison.. Or do you guys have any guidence for update Win32 apps?
Thnaks in advance. Hi Martin, I have to be honest.. If you did find a solution please let me know.. Great post thanks. Hello, Can you help me with updating the Intune apps for example I have packed the Adobe Reader but there is new release and how is the correct path to update the application?
I have changed the installation file and just wondering how detection rules can be changed so it can check if its older version? Hi sny, The update process is not that great for now but I did manage to update my applications using 2 different approaches Adobe Reader DC is set to be automatically updated by default so I wonder why your install is not updated automatically. Are you using a custom package or did you use the customization tool to disable the auto update feature?
This one lets the user choose when to install the update. Prep tool mentioned in the article is deprecated. I was in a hurry getting Arcobat Reader deployed and your writeup helped me a ton! You are a legend! I would like to point out, that instead of detecting whether Acrobat Reader is installed or not, you can also do detection by version number in Windows registry. That would allow updating existing verisons. I do it with the following Intune detection rules settings:. Great article, we use this method to deploy to our entire organisastion.
We now would like to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC all versions from all devices and install just the latest 64bit version.
Do you have a way of achieving this as this seems like a common issue? I had the same issue. You can also use the tool Acrobat Pro different swich. Notify of. Oldest Newest Most Voted.
