To manage software apps on Windows devices, 探花大神 is utilizing Private Repositories<\/a>, Chocolatey<\/a> packages and the Microsoft Store<\/a>. Using the Microsoft Store via 探花大神 Software Management allows you to control the installation and updating of software on your 探花大神-managed Windows fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some benefits of the Microsoft Store include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all software in the Microsoft Store can be deployed by 探花大神 today. Legacy applications that do not contain a Package Family Name (whose identifier starts with something other than 9) cannot yet be deployed from this software management solution. <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Microsoft Store is a unified distribution point for verified Windows apps. The Microsoft Store’s apps differ from apps available for public distribution as they are installed directly from the Store versus being downloaded and run as an installation package. They also offer greater security in that they are constantly updated and when installed, run in a ‘sandbox’. This means they can\u2019t touch data in other places on your 探花大神 managed Windows devices eliminating the need for administrator permission when installing apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the specific application you’re looking for isn’t found via the search in the Admin Portal, try searching in the Microsoft Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n If the URL for the application is “https:\/\/apps.microsoft.com\/detail\/9WZDNCRFJ3PV<\/mark><\/strong>?hl=en-us&gl=US”, the PID will be 9WZDNCRFJ3PV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n You can deploy Windows apps to one or more specific devices<\/a> or a preconfigured Device Group<\/a>. After deployment, apps will be installed within 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following Directory Insights (DI) events provide visibility into failures and detailed information when managing software with the Microsoft Store. The events will be logged,\u00a0irrespective of PackageManager<\/em>, whenever actions occur via admin-portal\/API (<\/em>PackageManager details will be included in logs)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customers with no package or the Device Management Package will need to add the Directory Insights \u00e0 la carte option. Directory Insights is included in all other\u00a0packages<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Users will not be able to uninstall apps if Prevent users from uninstalling<\/strong> is selected.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This removes the managed software package from the Admin Portal, not from the users’ machines. The software will become unmanaged <\/strong>on the device and default back to the Microsoft Store settings.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
