Deploy file to workstations with Microsoft Intune

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.
