Sync Intune Policies
The device check-in process might not begin immediately. If you’re testing this policy on a test device, you can manually kickstart Intune sync from the device itself or remotely through the Intune admin center.
Alternatively, you can use PowerShell to force the Intune sync on Windows devices. Restarting the device is another way to trigger the Intune device check-in process.
End-user Experience
Now, let’s examine the end-user experience and confirm whether the application has been successfully installed. I waited approximately 10-15 minutes for the application to download and install.
Through the Microsoft Intune Management Extension, you’ll receive a toast notification in the system tray indicating that the Company Portal App has been installed successfully.
- You can now search for the Company Portal app from the Start Menu. This also confirms that the deployment is completed successfully.
FAQs
1. What’s the location of the Microsoft Store Installation folder?
Microsoft Store apps are typically downloaded and installed in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps directory. This folder is hidden by default, and even if you are a local administrator, you may not have permission to access its contents. You would need to take ownership of this folder to view its contents.
2. Getting an Unknown (0x00000000) error code while deploying the Company Portal app
If the deployment fails, you can review its status and error code in the Intune admin center. It’s possible to encounter the Unknown (0x00000000) error code, as displayed in the screenshot below.
Users may get a toast notification that Company Portal Installation failed, along with the error code on the Intune admin center.
To resolve this issue, you can follow the steps outlined in this blog post: How to Fix Microsoft Store Error Code 0x00000000. In my case, the problem was resolved by following step number 5, which suggests that the issue could be related to the Microsoft Store Install service being disabled.
3. Where to find the Installation logs for the Company Portal app
If you continue encountering issues while deploying the Company Portal app on Windows devices, refer to the IntuneManagementExtension.log, which contains deployment logs for Microsoft Store apps.
You can locate this file at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs path. Open the most recent version of the file by sorting it using the Date Modified column.
4. I am getting error code 0x87D1041C
If you encounter error code 0x87D1041C after deploying the Company Portal app on Windows devices, it may be because the application is already installed on the target device. This is a known issue and is documented on Microsoft’s website.
Assigning a UWP app using the “Microsoft Store app (new)” type with the installation behavior set as “System” to a device which already has that app installed will result in this error: “The application was not detected after installation completed successfully (0x87D1041C)”. Uninstalling all previous installations of the app from the device, and then reinstalling the app to the device will resolve this.
