When we as IT People deploy Windows 10 AutoPilot we often get the feedback from users that they miss their shortcuts for SharePoint and such. For that reason I have created a manual which you can use to deploy this using a Win32App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a folder where you store the files that you need to deploy. For example:

I am deploying a shortcut for my SharePoint Online environment. To deploy this shortcut I need to following files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The install.cmd cointains the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if<\/strong> not exist “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig” md “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if<\/strong> not exist “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\Icons” md “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\Icons”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xcopy “SharePointShortCut.ps1” “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig” \/Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xcopy “SharePointicon.ico” “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\Icons” \/Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powershell.exe -Executionpolicy bypass -File “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\SharePointShortCut.ps1”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we create 2 folders:
\u2013 C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig
\u2013 C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\Icons

I always create these folders to run and store installation\/removal scripts. For example, when you have a custom application which requires a custom removal script this is where I store these scripts.

After that we copy the 2 files to these folders and last but not least we run the Powershell script. This script contains this code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if<\/strong> (-not (Test-Path “C:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop\\SharePointOnline.url”))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$null<\/strong> = $WshShell = New<\/strong>-Object -comObject WScript.Shell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$path = “C:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop\\SharePointOnline.url”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$targetpath = “https:\/\/tenantname.sharepoint.com”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$iconlocation = “C:\\ProgramData\\AutoPilotConfig\\Icons\\SharePointicon.ico”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$iconfile = “IconFile=” + $iconlocation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($path)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$Shortcut.TargetPath = $targetpath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$Shortcut.Save()<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-Content $path “HotKey=0”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-Content $path “$iconfile”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-Content $path “IconIndex=0”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to deploy another Internet Shortcut then SharePoint Online please edit these values:

$path, is the value where the SharePoint is being stored.
$targetpath, is the URL where you want to lead the Shortcut too.
$iconlocation, is the value where the icon is stored.

Change these values and put another iconfile in the folder that you are going to package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are going to use WinAppUtil. This application is needed to package applications in Microsoft Intune. You can download it here: Link<\/a>

Open Powershell, run the WinAppUtil.exe and use the following values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Deployment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Log on to the Intune Portal at https:\/\/devicemanagement.microsoft.com\/

Go to Apps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After that go to Windows and add an App:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add a Win32App:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select app package file and browse to the SharePointShortCut.intunewin file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Specify the package information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Specify the installation instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Install command: \u201cInstall.cmd\u201d
Uninstall command: del \/f \u201cC:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop\\SharePointOnline.url\u201d
Device restart behavior: \u201cno specific action\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specify the requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use the following detection rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No depencies and no scope tags are assigned.

Assign the groups that need the application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And we are done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
