Deploy the User Client with Microsoft Intune

Step 1. Create your .intunewin file

1. Go to Microsoft’s Github page and download the zip for their Prep Tool Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool. This tool wraps Win32 App so it can be uploaded to Intune.
2. Unzip it and place the executable into a \intune folder
3. Copy the contents of your PaperCut Application Server’s client\win folder to your workspace; place it in a \source folder next to your \intune folder.
4. Finally, create a \Output folder to place our wrapped .intunewin file

1. Open PowerShell.exe, change directory (cd)to the root of your working path, and run this command:

.\Intune\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c .\Source -s .\Source\win\pc-client-admin-deploy.msi -o .\Output\ -q

1. Once the tool finishes, take your new pc-client-admin-deploy.intunewin file from your \Output folder and proceed to Step 2. Install user component.
