All windows store URL's in intune don't work if they begin with https://apps.microsoft.com

Question

When I try to add an app in intune to deploy, I choose "Microsoft Store App". Any URL I enter from the microsoft store, for example Adobe Reader DC (https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/XPDP273C0XHQH2) , a warning appears saying "***Enter a valid url similar to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/lync/9wzdncrfhvhm***"

The Microsoft app stores don't begin with HTTPS://WWW, but HTTPS://APPS.

How do I fix this, or find the properly formatted URL?

Answer 1

Found the solution in each app under Developer and IT there is a link called Endpoint manager, that gives you the URL to use in Intune

Answer 2

I'm not sure that you can deploy Adobe Reader DC via Microsoft Store App. If you are familiar with wrapping a win32 app I'd recommend going this route.

Personally, I deployed a win32 app for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in my environment a couple years ago and it has been great. If you do it this way, it will deploy it when using AutoPilot as well.

Steps to create the win32 app package

Win32 Content Prep Tool

If you get used to deploying win32 apps, you can use this for many things, even deploying PS scripts and other useful things.

@Jeff Saffle Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, it seems that windows store URLs has changed. Currently, it starts with "https://apps.microsoft.com". Given this situation, it is suggested to create a intune online support ticket to find if there is any method to fix it. Here is the support link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/get-support

Or it is suggested to refer to the method that DillonJS provided. Please try to deploy the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app as a win32 app.

Thanks for your understanding.
