Deploy Monitor to Windows devices via Intune – Monitor Help Centre

This article outlines the steps to deploy Monitor to Windows devices via Microsoft Intune.

Before you begin

You must be an IT Contact in Monitor.
Your device must meet Monitor’s minimum system requirements.
If you use a firewall or filtering system other than Smoothwall, allow these domains.
Access to Microsoft Intune with appropriate administrative privileges.
Find your Organisation ID and UNCL Serial.
Download the Monitor client installers.
Download the Monitor deployment script.

To deploy the client via Intune, you only need the .intunewin file from the extracted download. For help on Intune app deployments, see Microsoft's guide on adding Win32 apps to Intune.

Open Intune and go to Dashboard > Apps > Windows.
Select + Add on the toolbar.
Select Windows app (Win32) from the App type dropdown.
On the App information tab, select Select app package file. Find the .intunewin file on your device or shared drive, then select OK.
The Name, Description and App Version fields should autofill. Review the form and ensure Smoothwall is entered in the Publisher field (required), then select Next.
On the Program tab, set Allow available uninstall to Yes and Device restart behavior to App install may force a device restart, then select Next.
On the Requirements tab, set the Operating system architecture to 64-bit and the Minimum operating system to Windows 11 21H2, then select Next.
On the Detection rules tab, set Rules format to Manually configure detection rules, then select + Add.
On the pop-up dialog, change Rule type to MSI and select OK.
Back on the Add app tab, select Next.
Select Next on the Dependencies and Supersedence tabs.
On the Assignments tab, select the Device Group where the software needs to be installed.

Tip

To install Monitor on all devices, select + Add all devices.

The next step is to run the deployment script to configure the client with your school's unique identifiers.

Open your downloaded Monitor deployment script in a text editor.
Add your UNCL Serial ($serial) and Organisation ID ($org) to the top of the script and save your changes.

Under the Monitor section, select Device install status.
Review the status column for your targeted devices.
