Once applications are deployed through Pckgr, they can be managed in Microsoft Intune as usual. However, Pckgr provides additional management features through the Dashboard, including options for deleting, redeploying, and automatic redeployment of applications.
Use the Application Library to view and manage deployed apps.
Applications can be searched by name, type, or recent deployment.
If managing multiple companies, use the company dropdown to switch views.
If an application is no longer required, it can be removed from Pckgr and/or Intune.
Locate the application in the Application Library.
Click the three-dot menu next to the app.
Select Delete, then choose:
Delete from Pckgr & Intune – Removes the app entirely from both platforms.
Delete from Pckgr Only – Removes Pckgr’s management, but leaves the app in Intune.
Redeployment allows an application to be reinstalled, refreshed, or updated in Intune.
Fix failed installations
Refresh a deployment for devices that missed the initial install
Apply updated settings or custom configurations
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.
Find the application in your Application Library.
Click the three-dot menu and select Redeploy.
Confirm the action and track the status in Pckgr or Intune.
After redeployment, Pckgr will push a fresh install package to Intune, ensuring all settings are applied correctly.
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.
Automated Redeployment ensures applications are reinstalled automatically if the underlying deployment package changes. Unlike Auto-Update or Update-Only, this feature is not just about pushing new software versions—it ensures that deployment configurations remain up to date and fully functional when packaging or structural changes occur.
How is Automated Redeployment Different from Auto-Update or Update Only?
Auto-Update ensures that the latest version of an application is installed as soon as an update is available, but it does not change how the application was originally deployed.
Update-Only deploys updates only if the application is already installed on the device. If the app is missing, it will not be installed.
Automated Redeployment triggers a full redeployment of the application if there are structural changes in the deployment package, such as metadata updates, installer script changes, or modifications in how the application is packaged.
A vendor updates the metadata or modifies deployment requirements.
Pckgr improves the installation scripts or deployment logic.
A Winget ID changes, requiring a new package to be deployed.
Go to My Companies in the Pckgr dashboard.
Select a company from the dropdown.
Toggle Auto Redeployment ON or OFF.
When an application has a redeployment update available it will highlight in Orange and will be pending for redeploy.
Click View in Intune from the three-dot menu next to the app in the Application Library to open the app’s details in your Intune environment.
Check the deployment status, group assignments, and installation history.
For Winget applications, Winget Pre-Install will appear as a dependency, fully managed by Pckgr.
