The following guide takes you through the steps to deploy the Backdrop client to devices using the LOB app method. It assumes the user has the necessary rights in Intune to perform these actions.
(LOB app is the Impero recommended method of deployment to Windows 10/11 devices)
(For Windows SE please follow the Intune win32 app guide)
1. Login to the Intune portal and Navigate to Apps.
2. Select Windows apps and then click new to add the application.
3. Under app type choose Line-of-business app and click select.
4. Select app package file and browser for the installation package you want to upload, in this case a Windows .MSI installer and click OK.
5. Name of application, Description of application and Publisher are required fields. Backdrop Client will populate Name and Description by default. Publisher is Impero Software.
6. Ignore app version MUST be set to Yes. This will allow the Windows Client auto updater to manage the version installed without further Intune management.
7. Command-line arguments can be used to set values during installation such as the school code. See below for a list of available arguments. All other fields are optional.
Parameters:
- (optional) SCHOOLCODE=XXXXX - Where XXXXX is your valid school code.
- (optional) APPDIR - Application will be installed on a specified APPDIR location.
- (optional) /qn - This installs the application "quietly" without the GUI shown.
- (optional) DisplayLogin=True/False - Where True will display the manual login popup
- (optional) DisplayMonitoring=True/False - Where True will display the "This device is being monitored" watermark on the desktop
The command-line installation requires the /qn flag parameter for silent installation.
The parameter SCHOOLCODE is optional and is used to register the school code at installation. The parameter DisplayLogin is used if you want to hide the manual login form from startup. The default behaviour will display this form. The form is not displayed when using automatic login.
The parameter DisplayMonitoring is used to enable the watermark, a non-interactive overlay on the desktop. The overlay appears in the bottom right portion of the display and reads "This device is being monitored". By default, this feature is disabled.
The parameter APPDIR install the application to a specific location, such as APPDIR C:\Apps\Education\Impero.
8. Select your desired assignments of devices and/or users for the application installation.
9. Review your selections and click create.
10. It may take a few minutes to upload the MSI file to Intune.
