Migrating 2,300 Applications to Microsoft Intune

It is not an easy task—especially when working with a mix of PSADT- and CMD-based packages, along with custom requirements like naming, branding, and package structure.  

With the IntuneWin Bulk Conversion feature, we transformed a complex migration into a smooth and efficient process. The tool automated the conversion of diverse package types and included advanced testing capabilities to identify and resolve potential issues early. This ensured the seamless transition of every application into the Intune environment. 

The Apptimized team undertook a large-scale project involving the migration of 2300 applications to Microsoft Intune. The migration involved a combination of PSADT-based and CMD-based packages. 

Managing such a large volume of applications with varying packaging methods required a solution that could efficiently handle these complexities. 

Our IntuneWin Bulk Conversion feature was the ideal solution to address these challenges from the start. It automatically handled both PSADT-based- and CMD-based packages, easily converting them into the required IntuneWin format. It also supported other packaging types, ensuring all applications were processed without any issues. 

Beyond handling the packaging diversity, the project required custom configurations, including custom naming conventions, branding, and package structures. Our feature implemented these customizations quickly, ensuring that the outcome will meet all specified requirements. 

Some of the source packages had installation or uninstallation issues, which were identified early in the process using the testing module integrated into the IntuneWin Bulk Conversion feature. The module flagged these packages automatically, allowing us to address and resolve them efficiently. This ensured that the migration process remained smooth and on track. 

By using the full capabilities of the IntuneWin Bulk Conversion feature, the project was completed successfully, with all 2300 applications migrated without disruption. This achievement demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of our solution in handling complex migrations, enabling seamless transitions to modern platforms like Intune. 

If you’re planning a migration to Microsoft Intune, our proven IntuneWin Bulk Conversion feature can simplify and optimize the process.

Professionelle Softwarepaketierung und umfassender technischer Support durch Apptimized Experten vor Ort.

Der Kunde
