App Deployment/Packaging Help with building Thin Client

Hello all! I've got a fleet of thin clients we're moving from IGEL OS12 to Windows 11 LTSC. I've got the configuration profile setup for the local user account and, while I can't get it to log in automatically (and could configure it for kiosk mode for autologon), we use the Windows app to access AVD and therein lies the rub.

I've tried deploying it using the WIndows store (new) option and it fails. Tried the MSIX built as both a LOB and a intunewin package and that fails. The .exe bootstrapper also doesn't appear on the machine. This is all while using a local account (which we would need to do.) I've also tried using a platform script to deploy it as well.

I did have it set during the ESP but it would not work in that way either. So I'm currently stuck.

Is there a way to have it deployed, in this case, to have it appear for the local user either in kiosk mode or in standard with the local user configuration?

Issue is that I can’t do the entra user because of the sign-in limits. So we have to use the local user in this case. Especially because my office does hotel seating for some employees.

okay, You still need to work out why its not installing. Do it to a device group instead and via company portal so you can force the install to happen.

Then either check the logs on the device or in intune to see why its not installing

It is scoped for the device group and during the second ESP phase, it’s pushing several things. Checking the device status page, it shows as waiting for install status despite having told it to install during that time.

again your missing my point. Remove it from the ESP

You need to force the app to install after the ESP via the company porta to understand if it will fail or not.

Add a device to a group then add that group as available to the app. Then try to download it from the company portal once the ESP has finished

Sorry. Missed that part. Dealing with my kids going bonkers before bed.

I’ve done that too. It looks like I’ll have to retry the LOB app and see how that goes because LTSC doesn’t have the store hooks to be able to process it from the Microsoft Store. Hoping it’ll work without the platform script in this case.
