How to deploy Greenshot with Microsoft Intune

Step 2: Customize the Greenshot Installer

1. Optional Configuration: If needed, pre-configure Greenshot settings by creating a configuration file:
   • Install Greenshot manually on a test device.
   • Customize the settings according to your needs.
   • Export the configuration file (greenshot.ini) from %APPDATA%\Greenshot\.
2. Include this configuration file later when deploying Greenshot to ensure a consistent setup.

Step 3: Convert the Installer for Intune

Intune requires .intunewin format for deployment.

1. Download the Intune Win32 Content Prep Tool:
   • Get the tool from Microsoft’s GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool.
2. Prepare the Package:
   • Create a folder containing the Greenshot installer (.msi or .exe) and any additional files (like greenshot.ini).
   • Run the Intune Win32 Content Prep Tool:
     powershell

     Copy code

     IntuneWinAppUtil -c <source_folder> -s <installer_name.msi or .exe> -o <output_folder>

   • This generates a .intunewin package in the output folder.

Create IntuneWin file

To deploy the Greenshot application with Intune we first need to create the IntuneWin file. Follow these steps:

• Create a new folder called Output on C:
• Create a new folder called DeployGreenshot on C:

• Download the latest Greenshot installation package
• Copy the Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.10.6-RELEASE.exe file into C:\DeployGreenshot

Note: The file name can be different.

• Download the official Microsoft Intune Win App Tool

• Open the Intune Win App Tool and enter the following:

Important: You need to open the Win App Tool as an Administrator

• Please specify the source folder: C:\DeployGreenshot
• Please specify the setup file: Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.10.6-RELEASE.exe [can be different]
• Please specify the output folder: C:\output
• Do you want to specify catalog folder: N

Step 4: Add Greenshot to Intune

1. Log in to the Microsoft Intune Admin Center.
2. Navigate to Apps > All Apps > Add.
3. Choose App type as Windows app (Win32) and click Select.
4. Upload the .intunewin package you created.

Step 5: Configure App Deployment

1. App Information:
   • Fill in details like app name (Greenshot), publisher, and description.
   • Optionally upload an icon for the app.
2. Program:
   • Enter the install command:
     cmd

     Copy code

     msiexec /i "Greenshot.msi" /qn


     For .exe installers, use:

     cmd

     Copy code

     Greenshot.exe /SILENT

   • Provide the uninstall command:
     cmd

     Copy code

     msiexec /x {ProductCode} /qn


     Replace {ProductCode} with the correct GUID for Greenshot (found in the registry or documentation).

3. Requirements:
   • Specify OS architecture (e.g., 64-bit) and minimum Windows version.
4. Detection Rules:
   • Add a detection rule to check if Greenshot is installed:
     • Rule type: File
     • Path: C:\Program Files\Greenshot
     • File or folder: Greenshot.exe
     • Detection method: File exists.
5. Assignments:
   • Assign the app to the required user or device groups.

In your Output Folder, there should be a new file called Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.10.6-RELEASE.intunewin

• Click on Select app package file
• Upload your IntuneWin file which is located in C:\output
• Click on OK
• Click on Next

• Here you can change the Settings. I leave it as it is. Dont forget to enter a Publisher

• Click on Next
• And Review + Create the Policy

Step 6: Test and Monitor Deployment

1. Deploy the app to a test group to ensure everything works correctly.
2. Monitor deployment status:
   • Go to Apps > Monitor > App Install Status in Intune Admin Center.
3. Check the target devices for successful installation.

Optional Enhancements

• Post-installation Scripts: If needed, use Intune PowerShell scripts to deploy the greenshot.ini configuration file to users’ %APPDATA%\Greenshot\ folder after installation.
• Update Management: Monitor Greenshot updates and package new versions for deployment periodically.
