Auto-Update Flag for available deployments

[AlkHacNar]

With the Intune [2404] Update came finally the auto-update function for available apps, if supersedence is set. Could we get it with the next update pls ;-)

Greetings

Would love to see this being implemented as well.

Thanks @AlkHacNar , i missed that one. Finally the updates are usable now. Now a support in the module would round everything up.

@kenchan0130 I get an error with your fix
WARNING: An error occurred while creating a Win32 app assignment. Error message: ModelValidationFailure: The property 'autoUpdateSupersededApps' does not exist on type 'microsoft.management.services.api.win32LobAppAuto UpdateSettings'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.

@AlkHacNar: They changed the api a little bit.
Instead of:

Construct table for autoUpdate settings

$AutoUpdateSettings = @{
    "autoUpdateSupersededApps" = $AutoUpdateSupersededApps

}

Use:

Construct table for autoUpdate settings

$AutoUpdateSettings = @{
    "autoUpdateSupersededAppsState" = $AutoUpdateSupersededApps

}

The api looks like this:
"settings": {
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.win32LobAppAssignmentSettings",
"notifications": "showAll",
"restartSettings": null,
"installTimeSettings": null,
"deliveryOptimizationPriority": "foreground",
"autoUpdateSettings": {
"autoUpdateSupersededAppsState": "enabled"
}
}

if I use the $AutoUpdateSupersededApps param on an app which don't have a supersedence, does it throw a failure?^^ I'm gonna test it

[ChristianOe]

You can look in my fork (https://github.com/ChristianOe/IntuneWin32App)
There I have a working example in Add-IntuneWin32AppAssignmentGroup.ps1

@ChristianOe: thx a lot now I get it to work. and made a workaroud for my script
just one thing, maybe it would be better to do it like this? just my 2 cents, yours works like a charm too^^
Instead of:

$AutoUpdateSettings = @{
                "autoUpdateSupersededAppsState" = $AutoUpdateSupersededApps
            }

switch ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName) {
                "GroupInclude" {
                    $SettingsTable = @{
                        "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.win32LobAppAssignmentSettings"
                        "notifications" = $Notification
                        "restartSettings" = $null
                        "deliveryOptimizationPriority" = $DeliveryOptimizationPriority
                        "autoUpdateSettings" = $null
                        "installTimeSettings" = $null
                    }
                    $Win32AppAssignmentBody.Add("settings", $SettingsTable)
                }
                "GroupExclude" {
                    $Win32AppAssignmentBody.Add("settings", $null)
                }
            }

            if ($AutoUpdateSupersededApps -eq "enabled") {
                if ($Win32App.supersededAppCount -ne 0) {
                    Write-Verbose -Message "Detected that Win32 app has an app to supersed"

                    $Win32AppAssignmentBody.settings.autoUpdateSettings = @{
                        "autoUpdateSupersededAppsState" = $AutoUpdateSupersededApps
                    }
                }
                else {
                    Write-Warning -Message "Win32 app was not configured for superseding an app. Please add a superseding relationship."
                }
            }

maybe like this?

if($AutoUpdateSupersededApps -eq "enabled"){if($Win32App.supersededAppCount -eq 0){$AutoUpdateSupersededApps = "notConfigured"}}
$AutoUpdateSettings = @{
                "autoUpdateSupersededAppsState" = $AutoUpdateSupersededApps
            }

            switch ($PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName) {
                "GroupInclude" {
                    $SettingsTable = @{
                        "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.win32LobAppAssignmentSettings"
                        "notifications" = $Notification
                        "restartSettings" = $null
                        "deliveryOptimizationPriority" = $DeliveryOptimizationPriority
                        "installTimeSettings" = $null
                        "autoUpdateSettings" = $AutoUpdateSettings
                    }
                    $Win32AppAssignmentBody.Add("settings", $SettingsTable)
                }
                "GroupExclude" {
                    $Win32AppAssignmentBody.Add("settings", $null)
                }
            }

if someone don't want to change the file "manually" here my workaround (I always uninstall old versions, so I onyl have one, if you have more then one you need wto do it with index)

[version]$moduleversion = (Get-InstalledModule -Name IntuneWin32App).version
$module = Get-Content "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\IntuneWin32App\$moduleversion\Public\Add-IntuneWin32AppAssignmentGroup.ps1"
if($module.Count -lt 349)
{
    Remove-Module -Name IntuneWin32App -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $newmodule = @()
    $newmodule += $module[0..37]
    $newmodule += "    .PARAMETER AutoUpdateSupersededApps"
    $newmodule += "        Specify to automatically update superseded app using default value of `'notConfigured`'."
    $newmodule += " "
    $newmodule += $module[38..115]
    $newmodule += "        [parameter(Mandatory = `$false, HelpMessage = `"Specify to automatically update superseded app using default value of `'notConfigured`'.`")]"
    $newmodule += "        [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]"
    $newmodule += "        [ValidateSet(`"notConfigured`", `"enabled`", `"unknownFutureValue`")]"
    $newmodule += "        [string]`$AutoUpdateSupersededApps = `"notConfigured`","
    $newmodule += " "
    $newmodule += $module[116..255]
    $newmodule += "            if(`$AutoUpdateSupersededApps -eq `"enabled`"){if(`$Win32App.supersededAppCount -eq 0){`$AutoUpdateSupersededApps = `"notConfigured`"}}"
    $newmodule += $module[256..257]
    $newmodule += "                    # Construct table for autoUpdate settings"
    $newmodule += "                    `$AutoUpdateSettings = @{"
    $newmodule += "                        `"autoUpdateSupersededAppsState`" = `$AutoUpdateSupersededApps"
    $newmodule += "                    }"
    $newmodule += $module[258..263]
    $newmodule += "                        `"autoUpdateSettings`" = `$AutoUpdateSettings"
    $newmodule += $module[264..($module.Count-1)]
    Set-Content "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\IntuneWin32App\$moduleversion\Public\Add-IntuneWin32AppAssignmentGroup.ps1" $newmodule
    Import-Module -Name IntuneWin32App
}

@AlkHacNar that's looks nice. Time to implement it in the project to all functions to get it live hopefully :-)

[ChristianOe]

@AlkHacNar I have updatet the AutoUpdate Feature in #175. Its needed because the flag only works with Intent available but not for required or uninstall.

[obuolinis]

Looks like you released 1.5.0 but missed one vital feature - autoupdate option for assignment creation @NickolajA

On a sidenote, when are you going to push the updated version to PSGallery?

[NickolajA]

I'm working on the final bits, assembling the stuff I might have missed, like this one (thought I had added it before). 1.5.0 will be pushed once these things have been added. Should be in the coming week or two.
