SvRooij.Winget-Intune.Cli 0.5.3

Winget Intune packager CLI

Take any (just msi installers for now) app from winget and upload it to Intune in minutes.

• Downloading the installer and the logo
• Creating an intunewin file automatically
• Generating the needed script information
• Publish the app to Intune.

This application is Windows only and requires Dotnet 7 to be installed on your computer. It's also a beta application, so please report any issues you find. A lot of commands run the winget command, so make sure you have the App Installer installed on your computer as well.

Installing

This package can be downloaded as a dotnet tool. Make sure you have Dotnet 7 installed on your computer. I'm working to get a code signing certificate, but for now you might have to configure an exception on your computer to run unsigned code.

# Install dotnet 7 sdk
winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.7 --source winget

# Add the nuget feed, if that is not already done
dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --name nuget.org

# This command will install the tool
dotnet tool install --global Svrooij.Winget-Intune.Cli

# or to update to the latest version
dotnet tool update --global SvRooij.Winget-Intune.Cli

Beta application

This is a beta application, it's not yet ready for production use. I'm still working on it, and I'm looking for feedback. If you found a bug please create an issue, if you have questions or want to share your feedback, check out the discussions page.

Package

You should definitely try the package command. as it's the most important one. Package an app from winget as an intunewin file, ready for uploading to intune. You can also expect a detection.ps1 file, that you should configure to be used as detection script in Intune, provided it's not a MSI installer, in that case you can find the detection information in the readme. It will also write a app.json file with all the information about the app, for automation purposes.

winget-intune package {PackageId} [--version {version}] [--source winget] --package-folder {PackageFolder}

The packageId is case sensitive, so make sure you use the correct casing. Tip: Copy it from the result of the winget search {name} command.

This command will download the content-prep-tool automatically, and use it to create the intunewin file. In a future version this might be replaced with a custom implementation, but for now this works.

Publish

The publish command will upload the intunewin file to Intune. You'll need to run the package command first. Not all packages will work for publishing, you can always try to manually upload the intunewin file to Intune.

# This app uses the built-in windows authentication, this will trigger a login prompt (or do sso).
winget-intune publish {PackageId} --package-folder {PackageFolder} --tenant {TenantId} --username {Username}

# You can also provide a token, this is useful for automation.
winget-intune publish {PackageId} --package-folder {PackageFolder} --token {Token}

Library (soon)

I'm planning to release the actual intune specific code as a separate library, so you can use it in your own projects. This will be released as a separate package.
