Best Guide to use PowerShell Scripts in Intune Enterprise Catalog App

by

In this article, am going to explain how to use PowerShell Scripts in Intune Enterprise App Catalog app. Microsoft Intune now allows you to use PowerShell scripts for installing Enterprise App Catalog apps, giving IT admins greater control and flexibility during deployment. This Intune app management feature was added to GA during the week of September 29, 2025.

Previously, the only option was to use a predefined command line, but with this enhancement, you can upload a PowerShell script to automate complex installation tasks, handle dependencies, or perform custom configurations before or after the app installation. This method simplifies deployment workflows and ensures a consistent app setup experience across all Windows managed devices.

When creating an Enterprise App Catalog deployment in Intune, you can now select the PowerShell script option under the installation method. This allows you to upload your .ps1 file directly to Intune. The script executes during app installation, following the same management and monitoring processes as traditional app deployments. You can include logic for pre-checks, logging, and conditional actions to ensure successful installations in various device environments.

Using PowerShell scripts also helps in better troubleshooting and maintenance. Admins can include robust error handling, registry checks, or verification steps within the script, making deployments more reliable. Since PowerShell is a familiar tool for most Windows administrators, this approach bridges the gap between traditional scripting and modern Intune-based app management, giving organizations more flexibility in delivering customized enterprise apps efficiently.

Create TeamViewer Enterprise App Catalog app

All the Enterprise App Catalog Apps are prepackaged in Intune, so it’s easy for an Admin to create them from the Intune Portal. Follow the steps below to make any Windows apps from scratch.

Let’s create PowerShell scripts from scratch for the installation and uninstallation processes. Please download my ready-to-use TeamViewer Host (x64) app install and uninstall script from my GitHub repository. You may also refer to the scripts listed below.

The main advantage of the Enterprise App Catalog app is that we don’t have to search for and test the installation and uninstallation commands. In this case, we are adding our own PowerShell scripts. To do this, click on Installer type and Uninstaller type, and change them to PowerShell script.

Click on Select custom script, enter the Script name, and upload the Install Script file. Set Enforce script signature check to No and Run script as 32-bit process on 64-bit clients to Yes. Then, select OK. In the same way, include your uninstallation script as well.

Click on Select custom script, then provide a script name and upload the Uninstall script file. Set Enforce script signature check to No and choose Run script as 32-bit process on 64-bit clients to Yes. Finally, select OK.

The Program page will also prefill all the other details, like Installation time required (mins), Allow available uninstall, Install behaviour, Device restart behavior, returns codes etc. You are also allowed to change any details.

The Rule format is already configured as Manually configured detection rules in this pane. The detection rule will also be filled out. Intune configures it via File, Registry detection methods in this application. Detection types may defer App by App.

The next step is to assign the Application to a device group. Click +Add group under Available for enrolled devices and choose a device group. I am selecting HTMD – CPC Test, one of my Windows 365 Cloud PC test Device Groups, so that we can install the app from the Company Portal.
