Applications

Application functionality

:cross_mark:

Devicie can help you package and assign an application. Devicie does not guarantee any functionality in the application beyond installation and application opening. Any application functionality should be referred to the app publisher.

Applications

New application request (from our Back Catalogue)

:white_check_mark:

Application requests are requested through our Support Portal.

Applications

New application request
(Not Back Catalogue)

:white_check_mark:

We will attempt to add the application to our back catalogue, but this is not a guarantee as the application needs to fit specific criteria. If the app can’t be added to back catalogue, we will request the setup files and package the app as bespoke.

Applications

Pre-existing bespoke applications
(i.e. Your pre-existing applications
on Intune)

:white_check_mark:

Limited

If you have pre-existing bespoke applications in your tenant, we can work with you to assign them. 

Note: As we have no visibility on how these applications were packaged and deployed, if there is issues with installation on end-user devices, we aren't able to troubleshoot. 

Applications

Patching supported applications*

:white_check_mark:

*If an application is from our back catalogue, we automatically deploy updates within 24 hours of that update being available.

:light_bulb_on: Tip: Some applications require users to close it manually to patch to update. e.g., Chrome and Edge browsers.

Applications

Updates not installing*

:white_check_mark:

If applications we manage from our back catalogue are not updating, please submit a Support Request so the team may investigate.

*For applications we manage i.e. Bespoke and Back Catalogue applications we deploy for you. This does not include Microsoft Store, Microsoft365 + Edge Applications.

Applications

Third Party Issues

Applications

Applications

Uninstall Bespoke Applications

:white_check_mark:

We can help you uninstall bespoke applications, but the uninstaller would need to be packaged as a separate application. The same applies to new versions of apps that don’t have an automated supersedence where the latest version doesn’t overwrite the previous version.

Applications

Remove built-in OS apps

:cross_mark:

We aren’t able to remove built-in OS applications on devices, although we can advise on some ways you might want to tackle the issue.

However, we have an article on How to Acquire an App from the Microsoft Store for Business. One the application is acquired in your tenant, it can be uninstalled on targeted User Groups.

Applications

Bloatware Removal
(i.e. 3rd-party software that comes pre-installed on devices)

:white_check_mark:

We can assist you by creating bespoke apps to remove the software (this can incur additional costs).

Otherwise, we can guide you through sending a “Fresh Start” command to the device to wipe it into a vanilla OS.

The other option here for you is to create a bootable USB drive and image the device from the USB.
