Cloud Deployments

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Welcome to the Deployment section for Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud.

Important

You need to Onboard to Intune Apps before you can use the Deployments feature.

Overview of Cloud Deployments

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud supports the following methods for deploying apps:

Deploying an App we can auto-update from our App Catalog
Deploying an App we cannot auto-update from our App Catalog
Using Custom Apps to deploy a custom EXE or MSI

Deploying an App we can auto-update from our App Catalog

The PMPC App Catalog contains apps for which there is a publicly accessible download of the installer that we can deploy and update. In the majority of cases, you should use the process to deploy your apps.

Deploying an App we cannot auto-update from our App Catalog

Some apps do not publish a publicly accessible download. These are typically apps:

You need to pay for.
The installer is behind a paywall that requires an individual login and password.
The vendor uses a compressed file for its installer.

We refer to such apps as Binary-free apps and you should follow the process.

Note

See our for a list of such apps that we’ve built and maintain.

Using Custom Apps to deploy a custom EXE or MSI

If you have your own installer (EXE or MSI) that you want to deploy, then you should follow the and processes.

Deploy an App using Cloud

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud can be used to deploy apps using Microsoft Intune.

Note

See for details on re-using a successfully deployed app for different configurations.

See for details on how to create a deployment without assignments.

To deploy an app using PMPC Cloud:

Built-in Auto Updates (Deployments)

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

If an app supports built-in auto-updates, this tool will be available, but the Disable Self-Update checkbox will be selected by default, disabling any auto-updates.

Note

Although some apps may have built-in auto-updates, they may not support controlling updates by using this or a registry value. In such a scenario, this option will be unavailable.

To manage the settings for the Built-in Auto Updates tool:

Cloud "Scripts" (Deployments)

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Note

Using the Scripts tool is optional.

The Scripts tool of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to configure settings for install and uninstall scripts.

Cloud "Role Scope Tags" (Deployments)

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Note

Using the Role Scope Tags tool is optional.

The Role Scope Tags tool of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to leverage Intune Role Scope Tags (Scope Tags) in your deployments to help control which Intune admins can manage a specific deployment.

Important

Before you can use a Scope Tag in a PMPC Cloud deployment, it must have already been created in the Intune admin center. Follow the process of for more details and information on Scope Tags.

If you manage Intune using PMPC Cloud, you should avoid performing any actions in the Intune admin center that can be performed in PMPC Cloud, as doing so will cause unwanted behavior.

To add Role Scope tags:

Add the .
Click the Role Scope Tags tool.

In the Profile Name field, either:
1. Start typing the name of the relevant Scope Tag, then click the checkbox beside it to select it.
2. Click the dropdown to see a list of existing Scope Tags and click the relevant checkbox(es) to select it.

Tip

You can click the X beside a Scope Tag in the Profile Name field to delete it.

Note

See for details on how to check within Intune that the Scope Tags defined in the deployment have been assigned correctly.

The number of profiles selected is shown beside the Role Scope Tags tool.

Next Steps

If you do not want to configure any additional settings, click Next to move to the tab.

Otherwise, navigate to the relevant tool to configure the required settings, which are explained in the relevant section.

Cloud "Retention Policy" (Deployments)

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Note

Using the Retention Policy tool is optional and is not supported by the MSP App Sets feature.

The Retention Policy tool of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to determine how many versions of an app (both Windows and macOS) you want to keep. If deploying a later version of an app causes issues, you can redeploy an older version.

By default, PMPC only retains the latest version of an app in your environment. Configuring a Retention Policy allows you to keep the current version, plus the number of configured versions as set by the Retention Policy.

For example, setting a Retention Policy of 1 for Google Chrome would mean you always have n-1 versions of Chrome, the latest and the previous version, until a newer version is deployed.

Important

The previous version (n-1) of an app may temporarily remain visible in Intune even when a Retention Policy is not configured.

The portal only deletes the previous version during the next , not in the same sync that creates the new version.

This behavior is intentional as it prevents situations where if the new version (n) fails to package, no version of the app remains available.

To configure a PMPC Cloud deployment to use a Retention Policy:

Add the .
Click the Retention Policy tool.

In the Versions to Retain box, either type the required number or use the controls to configure the number of versions of this app you wish to retain in your environment.

Note

The default value of 0 means only the most recent version of the app is retained. You can retain up to ten versions of an app.

Tip

See for details on how to check within Intune that the correct number of versions of an app are being retained as defined in your Retention Policy.

Next Steps

If you do not want to configure any additional settings, click Next to move to the tab.

Otherwise, navigate to the relevant tool to configure the required settings, which are explained in the relevant section.

Note

Other important points about App Version Retention:

Modifying the Versions to Retain setting is supported. The next time the runs (or you manually ), the changes will be applied to the deployment.

Create a Cloud Deployment Without Assignments

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Some large organizations want to be able to create deployments in Intune Apps for Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud without any assignments.

Then, their local IT organization adds and manages the assignments to the relevant deployments to meet their needs by using Intune admin center.

To create a deployment with no assignments:

Follow the Deploy an App process until you reach the Assignments tab where you can add an assignment. When you click Add Assignment, you will see the App Without Assignment sub-menu containing the following two items: • Install App - Allows the Intune admin to add Required, Available, or Uninstall assignments from within the Intune admin center. • Update Only App - Allows the Intune admin to add only an Update Only assignment from within the Intune admin center.

Note

If you are deploying a Microsoft patch file (.msp), only the Update Only App option is shown under the App Without Assignment section as .msp files cannot be used to install an app, only update it.

Tip

You can also with the App Without Assignments options configured. Then when you create the deployment, simply click Apply Template and select the relevant template to have its settings applied to this deployment.

Select the relevant option.
Uncheck the Copy-Forward checkbox if required. This checkbox is checked by default, which means whenever we see any manually created assignments on Intune, when we update the app, we’ll automatically copy forward all the assignments from the previous version to the new version.
Click Deploy and wait for the deployment to complete successfully.

Once the deployment has successfully completed, if you look in the Intune admin center you will see that the app has been created without any assignments.

Your local IT teams can now follow the process to add the relevant assignments for this app.

Note

If you checked the Copy-Forward checkbox, the next time the Sync Schedule detects a new version, the assignments are copied forward to the new version. The old version of the app will be removed immediately once the new version has been created and the assignments moved over to it.

Also, a deployment without assignments can be edited and managed in the same way as a regular deployment. See the and sections for more details.

Important

The current release of this feature has the following restrictions:

A deployment cannot contain both regular assignment types and no assignment types.

Use a Template in Cloud Deployments

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

Once the Deployment Templates () feature of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud has been enabled for your PMPC Cloud company and you have created at least one template, you can start using templates for your new deployments.

Note

Templates are currently unsupported for use in existing deployments. To configure an existing deployment to use a template, you need to delete it and recreate a new one. When creating the new deployment, you can choose which template to use.

Also, if a template contains an option that is not supported by a deployment, that option will not be shown in the portal.

- Scriptrunner will now expand environment variables provided in custom command line arguments.

Improvements

Improve how the Publisher reads and writes settings.
- Prevent the Publisher from overwriting user setting changes while a sync is happening. Previously, if a user was in the UI and clicked save while a sync was running, the user’s changes could be lost.
- Prevent the Publisher from losing Intune configuration due to an abandoned mutex.

Added support for Microsoft Teams Workflows as a new webhook provider option. With the announced , we now support the new Workflow options. Our Teams notifications have been updated with new ⁠ templates.

Improvements

Configured are updated on sync for ConfigMgr applications, Intune applications, and Intune updates. If there is a mismatch between the settings in the Publisher and the published application, then the return codes from the settings will be applied. It is no longer necessary to republish a product to update the return codes.
Add support for passing additional headers when downloading binaries. This is metadata maintained by Patch My PC.

Fixes

Fix a bug that caused republishing a custom ConfigMgr application with additional files to fail in some scenarios.
Fixed a bug where the return codes in settings could be duplicated if the treeview was refreshed, or you switch tenants in a multi-tenant setup.
Update Intune detection to account for registry detection checking for a nonexistent property. We now allow a NotEquals check for a property that might not exist. Previously, this would cause an unhandled exception.

Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused the ‘Prevent the end-user from opening an application while the application is updating’ feature to not work for ConfigMgr or Intune applications in some instances.
If a product is renamed, the requirement rules for Intune Updates may not update as expected. This applies to custom applications and Patch My PC catalog applications. The old requirement rule for an Intune Update would be left behind. The requirement rules should now be maintained as expected when a product is renamed.

2.1.24 - 2024-05-30

Fixes

If the temporary file location configured in the Publisher does not exist, we now fall back to the system temporary directory. Previously, if this directory did not exist the PatchMyPcService would fail to start.
Fixed a bug where the secrets, such as the Intune application registration secret, would not be saved in the correct format on the first UI open for a new install.

2.1.23 - 2024-05-29

Features

Support for ‘Allow available uninstall’ in Intune
- Idea:
Implement coexistence
- Coexistence ensures the customer is aware when a product is already managed by Intune Apps for Patch My PC Cloud.

Improvements

Improve our regex usage in the detection of applications published by Patch My PC.
- The regex string is now stored in base64 in the PowerShell script to prevent Intune from clobbering UTF8 characters.
