Using a Custom Configuration Policy to deploy the Patch My PC certificate

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Our recommended method for deploying Patch My PC (PMPC) code signing certificates is to use a custom configuration policy.

This method uses the base64 encoded representation of the certificate and deploys it using a custom configuration profile.

To deploy the certificate using a custom configuration policy, follow the Create a profile with custom settings in Intune article using the following values.

Certificates to Deploy

There are two distinct use cases in PMPC Cloud that require separate certificates:

1. Intune Detection and Requirement Scripts Used to sign Intune detection and requirement scripts for Win32 applications published through PMPC Cloud.

2. Patch My PC Helper Scripts Used to sign required and recommended pre/post "helper" scripts for certain applications in the PMPC catalog. These helper scripts perform essential tasks such as stopping processes, uninstalling older software versions, or configuring application behavior during deployment to ensure successful app installation.

1. Deploy the Certificate use to sign Intune Detection and Requirement Scripts
