M365 Apps deployment as a native feature in NME - leverage M365 Apps configuration XML and an evergreen URL to the setup.exe (https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/wsus/setup.exe) to create a native UAM installer or to import a Win32 package into Intune.
- The configuration XML could be embedded like the FSLogix redirections.xml - this will enable more advanced scenarios such as settings default application preferences for a better first run experience
- This approach should enable a consistent M365 Apps deployment without resorting to a PowerShell script
- M365 Apps wizard in Intune doesn't support dependencies. A Win32 package is more predictable for Autopilot deployments
- When importing into Intune, replace any existing M365 Apps Win32 package with dependencies and supersedence
- Optionally wrap in the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit for end-user interaction
