Microsoft Intune is a very powerful tool for Azure administrator and can be used to perform a large number of tasks. You can set policies, deploy packages, run PowerShell scripts on azure domain-joined devices. This post is related to copy files or folders to the user’s desktop using Intune. I am creating a PowerShell script and batch file then I will convert them to Win32 Intune package for deployment.

Let’s start.
Step 1: Create a folder named package in C drive

$Destination = “C:\Users\Public\Desktop\”Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination $Destination –Recurse -Force
Step 4- Create a batch file Install.cmd

Step 7- Sign in to the Azure portal and select the Intune blade.
Step 8- Select Client apps –> Apps –Add
