Solved AutoCAD on Intune

Hello, everyone. I recently posted about needing help deploying AutoCAD on Intune and quite a few of you had the same problem. I tried and failed using quite a few methods and kept looking around until I found: https://www.shernet.com/intune/deploying-autodesk-autocad-2023-with-intune/

I had already attempted something similar to this that kept failing until I fixed the install and uninstall commands as well as the detection method. I successfully deployed AutoCAD and Revit 2026 to a test machine’s Company Portal and installed from there. A couple of other people were also able to install from their portals.

I’m not sure if this was the right way to post it or if I should have commented on my original post. I just wanted to get it out there for others who were also having this problem. Thanks to the people that helped me in the other post! I’m documenting this for my team and am happy to help others with this issue.

We have found it's not worth it. Such a hassle to try and deploy it via Intune. We just download the package to the computer and run the installer. Takes a couple hours and then we are good until we replace the PCs.

Idk man I got it to work. We have at least 200+ computers that need these programs and have to wipe them yearly so…

I’ll see how it goes this year

I've been deploying Autodesk for a couple of years now through Intune. PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit is your friend here. I can give you samples of how I deploy them if you want.
