  • {Product]
  • {Publisher}
  • {SetupFile}
  • {Version]

Additional placeholders can be defined via Custom Properties.

All available placeholders (built-in und Custom Properties) can be preset by specifying a Regular Expression.

Detection Rule Templates

Detection Rule Templates can be configured as defaults for creating applications from setup sources.

Mutliple templates can be defined and assigned individually to a setup co-configuration (see General).

A template always consists of a name and can contain n many recognition rules:

Supported detection rules

  • MSI
  • Registry
  • Filesytem

All available placeholders (built-in und Custom Properties) can be used within detection rules.

Content Source Paths

When creating applications from setup sources , the sources must be selected from preconfigured file paths:

create-from-setup-wizard-select-source.png

This area is used to configure these file paths.

configuration-content-source-paths.png

File paths can be specified as local paths or UNC paths and must be accessible from the Intune Manager server.

The file paths are accessed in the context context (identity) of the Intune Manager pool

Custom Properties

When creating applications from setup sources, Intune Manager works with properties that are read from the source files. If these properties are not sufficient for naming, additional user-defined properties can be defined and used afterwards.

A good example of this is the Architecture property (32 bit or 64 bit). This property does not exist within an MSI file. However, if this property is defined, it automatically appears in the Create from Setup Wizard under the App information item, of an application or package.

Publishers

In this section you can edit the list of known manufacturers.

Manufacturers can be added, edited or deleted.

This list is used as soon as the reading of the manufacturer from the source file is completed. Afterwards, an attempt is made to find a suitable manufacturer in this list, e.g. to correct incorrect specifications such as "Microsft" in "Microsoft".

Languages

In this area language-value pairs (key and replacement value) can be edited.

Language value pairs can be added, edited or deleted.

Intune Manager recognizes the stored language when importing source files (best for MSI files). Based on this list, e.g. German (Germany) becomes German.
