    Hello Criti,

    Thanks for your question. To do this, I will recommend using New-PSDrive CMdelet to map the File share as a network drive.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-psdrive?view=powershell-7.4#examples
    For Example:

    New-PSDrive -Name "Public" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\<FileSharePath"

    FileSharePath should assume the format: <storage-account-name>.file.core.windows.net<file-share-name> as documented here:

    After doing this, you can proceed to deploy the script directly as an Intune PowerShell script.

    See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/intune-management-extension

    Please let me know if you have further questions

    @Criti, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

    For Intune side, we can use ADMX file to map Azure file shares on windows device via Intune.

    Here is the links for reference.
