🔄 Parameter Fallback Logic

The scripts accept parameters at runtime. However, if your deployment platform does not support passing script parameters, each script contains an internal fallback section where you can hard-code the target Dell tool and options. This ensures compatibility across all deployment methods.

Deployment by Microsoft Intune

Tip: For detailed Intune packaging and deployment walkthroughs, see the Microsoft Intune Win32 app documentation.

Prerequisites If you want to install the Dell Device Management Agent or Dell SupportAssist by MST to need to modify the universalinstall.ps1 to add your registration informations.

otherwise the installation will fail or not register the device to Dell Device Management Console or Dell Techdirect.

Step 1: Download the required tool or using my https://github.com/svenriebedell/DellApp-Download-Manager to having a local repository of all tools

Step 2: Create a new a new IntuneWin package

Step 3: Upload the IntuneWin package to Microsoft Intune

Step 4: Prepare scripts and upload to Intune

You need to work with the fallback section in these scripts to set the parameters, because intune not support call the script with parameters.

Step 5: Upload these scripts to Intune

Step 6: Assign the application to the required devices

Description

This repository provide Deployment Guide and scripts you can use to install Dell Client Management Tools in Microsoft Intune. You will find for all Applications scripts for install, uninstall and detection. The most of install scripts include a automatically uninstall of older version. For Dell Optimizer we use an inplace update and no uninstall in reason of using existing User configuration of Dell Optimizer in newer version as well. For Trusted Device we use inplace update to reduce the count of reboots.

This and more you will find in Deployment Guide Install_Instruction_Dell_Tools_with_ MEM_V1_2_5.pdf stored in this repository
