Installer pushed by Intune but updater needs Admin credentials??

Post by nap-ln »

We just purchased a 50 licence pack, Is there a method to update PDF Xchange without needing to enter admin credentials? Adobe seems to have managed this easily so it is possible.

It seems counter intuitive to deploy the application using Intune but then we are required to enter admin credentials for 50 users. The administrative overhead of doing this at scale is too high.

I understand the need to balance between interrupting users and updating but a toast notification with approval or deferral works for all other updates (Adobe, Dell firmware, Windows updates).

Hi nap-In,

I'd suggest taking a look through the sysadmin manual - you should be able to find what you need there:
