Deploy the PMPC Client

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Important

This documentation is for a pre-release feature still under development and, therefore, incomplete. As a result, both functionality and documentation are subject to change.

Once this feature is released, it will be announced and this banner removed.

To deploy the Patch my PC (PMPC) Client:

1. Navigate to Settings | Deploy Client

The Deploy Client screen is shown, which is split into two sections:

• Preview Version Deployment – Shows details of the preview version of our Client and which Entra ID groups it is targeted to (if relevant).

• Production Version Deployment - Shows details of the production version of our Client and which Entra ID groups it is targeted to (if relevant).

1. To deploy the Client (Preview or Production), click the Groups dropdown and select the relevant Entra ID group(s) you want to deploy the Client to.

Important

Please ensure any devices you plan to install the PMPC Client on meet the PMPC Client Prerequisites.

1. Click Save

The Success - Created notification is shown.

Once the Win32 app for the Client has been created in Intune, the status updates to Success and the Client will be deployed to the targeted devices.

As the Client is installed on the targeted devices, the number of Devices Managed shown in the Dashboard will increase.

Tip

You can also check for the existence of the C:\ProgramData\Patch My PC\Client folder on any target devices and review the following log to monitor the installation of the Client:

C:\Windows\Temp\PatchMyPC_Client_Installer_msi.log

Note

To deploy the Client to other Entra ID groups, select the relevant groups from the Groups dropdown and click Save. The Success – Updated notification will be displayed and the Client will be deployed to the additional groups.
