Thanks Andy. Big Help. If you are looking for ideas on videos, please could you do one on enabling Remote Desktops (Firewall Rules) via Intune. It was very simple to do in the old days of Windows Domains.
Thanks Andy, very useful - certainly the multi-tenant feature. Our concern regarding these tools is the company viability with smaller businesses like Pckgr. What happens if we put all our application deployment and patching requirements with Pckgr and they go out of business?
Hmm. I’m a bit curious about the actual usefulness of this service since most apps on here are winger, aka Store apps (New) in intune that are a 5 click install straight from intune. No real benefit with this deploying winget apps. Possibly that the app is treated like a win32 app gives us some more options. It the winget preinstall app? Winget is already a part of windows. I guess we could just publish an install script as an intunewin app to get the added flexibility with dependencies and such. If it automated complex app testing I’d be interested
Hello! I'm the owner of Pckgr. Like you mentioned you have the added benefits if the app being win32 which allows for more customisation. We also have access to a massive library of applications as we can clone from the Winget repo. We also have a bot which submits new updates to the repo as soon as they become available.
Do you need to do anything so that the apps would be installed automatically to the users' device? I have already deployed the app and assigned "all users" but the app isn't installing on my test virtual machine
Weird! It just worked for me. Perhaps it’s just either a timing issue, or make sure that the users are appropriately licensed, then it should just work.
Hey Andy, if this provisions an app in InTune, and InTune then manages the assignments, why would the number of devices in the tenant be linked to pricing?
Response from Pckgr - So there is a device count done on our end, when the device count reaches what the customer has paid for, they will be prompted to buy another bucket for the amount of devices they want to service. Pckgr pauses the auto updates and the ability to continue deploying apps while the user is over the device count. The user is emailed in advance to assist with them exceeding their cap and also the user can see their usage limit on the dashboard Also the users device count can exceed 5000, that would just require an email conversion.
Ta Andy. Been using this for six months or so, it is super easy, and the staff on their helpline are extremely supportive. Worth the expense!
Nice to meet another Andy Malone 😀
Nice to meet you ..: er me🤣
Andy, you really rock!

Thanks Andy, this is great!!!
Can we have a preview of the Company portal for android devices, will be helpful.
Thanks
I would love that, but unfortunately I don’t have an android phone. Sorry

Gosh that’s the million dollar question I think 😊
Looks good Andy. Any security concerns?
No because the app has limited oAuth rights and the apps are provisioned to users via Intune
@@AndyMaloneMVP Thanks Andy 👍
Andy how do you coordinate this another paid for subscription from another company?
Contact Pckgr support for this one

For license questions, please reach out to the support team at Support Pckgr but I hear you 👍

At the price they are charging it’s a steal either way
awesome
Hi Andy,
Do you know if this works with Microsoft Surface Hub devices ?
You can request for the software to be added to the platform. Check the documentation 😊
