How to deploy the 247connect Windows Control Microsoft Store app listing via Intune

The 247connect Control for Windows is now available in the Microsoft Store. It can be installed from the Microsoft Store directly to a Windows device, or you can deploy it to your chosen devices using Intune.

Deploying the Microsoft Store app listing via Intune provides the added benefit of enabling the app to automatically update when a new version is released and published to the store. Intune performs regular checks on the version installed on your assigned devices and compares this to the version published in the Microsoft Store. If the version installed is detected as older than the one published to the store, it will auto-update the app to the latest version.

Note: You can control via Intune whether the app will auto-update or not.
