Deploy ResourceFinder as an WIN32 App With Endpoint Manager (INTUNE).

Prerequisites

This knowledge base article will guide you through the deployment of the Resource Finder Com Add-in for Outlook through Intune.

Before you can start the deployment process, there are some requirements for publishing Win32 applications to a client. Be aware that you must meet the following criteria.

- Windows 10 – build 1607 or higher (Education, Pro, and Enterprise)
- The Windows 10 client must be joined to Azure AD or Hybrid domain joined
- The Windows 10 must be under MDM management with Microsoft Intune
- Only Resource Finder 4.1 builds supports this.
