Question

How to map Azure file shares on Entra Joined windows 11 laptops via Intune ?

Answer 1

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
