How to use Microsoft Intune to deploy scripts

As you know you can deploy only .exe and .msi files via Microsoft Intune.

So, IExpress:

Be careful with version of IExpress: package created in Windows 7 will not work in Windows 10 and vice versa, so if you need a package for Windows 7 use IExpress from Windows 7. Easy rule!

news about System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview and Microsoft Intune

Today during Microsoft Ignite a new version of ConfigMgr was announcing – System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview.

System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview has a lot of new features. The most interesting features are:

exam 70-696

In December I registered for a free beta exams 70-695: Deploying Windows Devices and Enterprise Apps and 70-696: Managing Enterprise Devices and Apps. January 30, I received the results of the exams: I do not pass 70-695 because of the minimal experience with PowerShell, WDS and App-V, and I passed 70-696 because all the questions were related to the Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune. 🙂

Dear Microsoft Candidate:
Congratulations on passing the new Microsoft 696 – Managing Enterprise Devices and Apps exam!

By passing this rigorous exam you have joined the group of Microsoft professionals throughout the world who have demonstrated their knowledge and skills in the Managing Enterprise Devices and Apps exam.

Half way to the MCSE: Enterprise Devices and Apps is passed. If I have a lot of free time, I will prepare for 70-695. 🙂

Now exams are no longer in beta and fill free to register.
