Microsoft Intune uses the Company Portal app make applications available to Windows computers for installation without requiring separate administrator-level permissions. It also keeps most UVM-managed applications up to date automatically. To use Company Portal to install an application, follow these steps.
- Click on your Start Menu (or press the button on your keyboard) and then open Company Portal.
- In Company Portal, click on the Apps tab in the left hand navigation bar. This will show you a list of available applications.
- Click on the application you want to install and you will be brought to the application overview page. On this page, click Install.
- The application will download and install. You will see some different messages in Company Portal like the ones here.
- You will get notifications from Windows in the lower right hand corner to alert you to the installation progress.
- Once you see the successful installation message, you can run the application. You can also verify the install by going to the Downloads & Updates tab in the left hand navigation in Company Portal and look for the application.
Application Updates
