Manage ESP Profiles

Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher Available at level: All Custom Products, All Products, Vendor, Product Available on tab: Intune Apps

Overview

The Manage ESP Profiles option allows you to associate Intune applications created by the Publisher with one or more Enrollment Status Page (ESP) profiles.

This configuration controls which applications are tracked as blocking apps during Windows Autopilot enrollment.

Only classic Enrollment Status Page (ESP) profiles are supported by this feature. It does not apply to the newer Autopilot device preparation policies found in the modern Windows Autopilot configuration experience.

The example below highlights the difference in the Intune admin center between classic Enrollment Status Page profiles, which are supported, and Device preparation policies, which are not supported for ESP association by the Publisher.

Configuration

The ESP profile association is applied during the next Publisher synchronization.

If a new version of the application is published, the Publisher automatically removes the previous version it created from the ESP profile(s) and adds the newly published version instead. This ensures Autopilot always tracks the most recent version of an application published.

Important

Associating an app with an ESP profile does not install the app by itself. The application must also have a Required Intune assignment targeting the device or user for it to be installed during Autopilot.

The available ESP profiles are retrieved from your Intune tenant. To appear in the list, an ESP profile must have Show app and profile configuration progress set to Yes.

Use the Select ESPs window to associate an Intune application with one or more classic Enrollment Status Page profiles.

To configure ESP profiles for an application:

1. Right-Click the Manage ESP Profiles option for the product, vendor, or product group where you want the setting applied.

2. The Select ESPs window opens and displays all eligible classic ESP profiles from your Intune tenant.

3. Use the Filter items field to quickly locate the required ESP profile.

4. Select one or more ESP profiles by checking the box next to each profile.

5. Select OK to save the configuration.

Products selected will added to the ESP profile as a Blocking app when the Intune application is published.
