Requirements

Prerequisites for installing the Publisher with Intune.

Before you get started, make sure you take advantage of our free trial!

When installing the Publisher for an Intune-only configuration, ensure you meet the following requirements:

Software:

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2

• Internet Connection

  • List of Domains Used for Downloads

• Appropriate disk space depending on the number of products enabled

• Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11

    • When using Windows 10/11, the RSAT: Windows Server Updates Services needs to be installed. See the PowerShell command below for install on Windows Desktop.

# Windows Desktop
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

You can verify if this capability installed successfully by running the following PowerShell command:

# Windows Desktop
Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Running these command should look like this:

• Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022

  • When using Windows Server, only the WSUS API component needs to be installed, not full WSUS. The WSUS API can be installed using PowerShell with the command:

# Windows Server
Install-WindowsFeature UpdateServices-API

The Patch My PC Publisher will require the user launching the Publisher tool to be a local Administrator on the server. This requirement is for both the installation as well as running the Publisher after it has been installed and configured.

• CPU: 2 CPU or more

• Memory: 8GB of RAM or more
