Redeploying an Application
How to Redeploy an Application
Redeploy Feature in Pckgr
The Redeploy function serves as a valuable feature in Pckgr that allows users to seamlessly refresh their application in Intune. With a few simple clicks, the Redeploy feature creates an updated clone of the application while ensuring to remove the older package.
Benefits
Automated Redeployment: Eliminates the need for manual deleting and deploying an application from Pckgr.
Cleaning up stale devices installs: Redeploying is a great way to clean up any failed installs from dormant devices, once redeployed the install count will start fresh.
Streamlining packages code updates: If updates are required to the underlying code Pckgr can seamlessly add these in and push a redeployment of apps. This is useful if a Winget ID changes or Pckgr improves the overall deployment code.
How It Works
Clone Creation: Initially, a clone of the application is created in Intune. The new clone will pull the latest install/uninstall and requirement scripts. Please not that for Update Only deployments all custom requirement scripts will be replaced.
Configuration Transfer: Any custom configurations and group deployments that you had set up for the application are copied over to the new clone.
Old Package Removal: The older version/package of the application is identified and removed from Intune.
Steps to Redeploy Your App
Open the App Library: Navigate to the application library page.
Select the App: Choose the application you wish to redeploy from the list.
Redeploy Option: Find and click on the “Redeploy” button.
Confirm: A confirmation dialogue will appear. Click on “Yes” to initiate the redeployment process.
Wait: The process will take a few minutes for the application to redeploy. A notification will inform you once the redeployment is successful via email.
Verify: You can check Intune to confirm that the old package has been removed and the new clone with the updated files is now live.
