Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud
As detailed in , an app will appear on the Managed tab of the Discovery node of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud if there is at least one matching deployment in either PMPC Cloud or our on-premises Publisher (Publisher) for that app.
This article includes examples of each of the supported scenarios.
Tip
Hovering over either the value in the Assigned To All column or Edit button for a deployment will show a tooltip providing more information.
If the app has only been deployed using PMPC Cloud, the app:
Has the PMPC Cloud () icon beside its name.
Has either a red X () or green tick () in the Assigned To All column, depending on whether there is at least one deployment with a Required or Update Only assignment type to the Intune pre-defined All Users or All Devices assignments:
A red X indicates there isn’t.
A green tick indicates there is.
The Edit button is either:
A pencil () if the app only has one deployment.
A down arrow () if the app has multiple deployments. When you click the arrow, a dropdown list opens containing all of the deployments for the app from which you can choose the deployment you want to edit.
In the following screenshot:
Both Notepad++ and Zoom Workplace have only been deployed through PMPC Cloud.
Notepad++ has a single deployment with a Required assignment type to All Users.
Zoom Workplace has multiple deployments, but none have a Required assignment type to All Users or All Devices.
This can be confirmed by searching for the app in the App Catalog.
If the app has only been deployed using Publisher, as PMPC Cloud did not create the deployment, the app:
Has a value of Unknown in the Assigned To All column.
The Edit button is disabled as you need to edit the deployment in Publisher.
In the following screenshot, the Google Chrome app has only been deployed using Publisher.
This can be confirmed by searching for the app in the App Catalog.
Important
We do not recommend deploying the same app through the Publisher and PMPC Cloud to avoid settings conflicts and unwanted app behavior.
If the app has been deployed using PMPC Cloud and Publisher, the app:
A red X indicates there isn’t.
A green tick indicates there is.
The Edit button is only available to edit the PMPC Cloud deployment and will either be:
In the following screenshot, Notepad++ has been deployed through Publisher and PMPC Cloud, with the PMPC Cloud deployment having a Required or Update Only assignment type to the Intune pre-defined All Users or All Devices assignments.
This can be confirmed by searching for the app in the App Catalog.
Has the On-Prem Publisher () icon beside its name.
Has both the PMPC Cloud () and On-Prem Publisher () icons beside its name.
Has either a red X () or green tick () in the Assigned To All column, depending on whether there is at least one PMPC Cloud deployment with a Required or Update Only assignment type to the Intune pre-defined All Users or All Devices assignments:
A pencil () if the app only has one deployment.
A down arrow () if the app has multiple deployments. When you click the arrow, a dropdown list opens containing all of the deployments for the app from which you can choose the deployment you want to edit.
