Support for Intune Windows App (Win32)

In App Portal / App Broker 2021 R2, support was added for deploying software to Windows 10 devices using Microsoft Intune for Microsoft Store for Business Apps and Windows Line of Business Apps (.msi and .msix). In this release, support for Windows App (Win32) has been added.

All the capabilities that exist with Microsoft Store for Business Apps and Windows Line of Business Apps are available with the Windows App (Win32) type as well.

Note:Microsoft Intune has a limitation of not being able to provide the domain that a device is part of. Due to this, App Portal does not currently support license governance capabilities such as license reservation, My Apps, and license reclamation, when Intune is the source of Device and User sync.
