Deploying URL's INTUNE.

[pingu]

Hi,

 

Since moving to a new tenant we have moved pretty much off prem. Just using a server for dhcp/DNS.

 

Soooo i am looking to deploying some urls to a group of users via INTUNE. If anybody has done this i would very much appreciate a step by step please.

 

 

Thanks !

What do you mean by "urls" in this context? You could deploy favourites via Edge etc or do you mean something else?

majority of staff are chrome users.

Not sure if it helps, but we create a 'intranet' style home page in Google sites with links to users most used URL's. Then set to open at start up for the users we choose via Google Workspace. Works really well, simple to use and to update and looks good.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\google_homepage.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "https://www.google.co.uk"
oShellLink.IconLocation = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, 0"
oShellLink.Description = "Google Homepage"
oShellLink.Save

Good old VBS script. Package as a WIN32 and install as user with a detection based on your filename. I detest doing this backwards scripting but in the end this is where we are at. What ive actually done is create a SYSTEM WIN32 app that installs a scheduled task, the scheduled task runs a master batch file upon user logon. This batch file is updated when I need to run more hacky fixes under a user context. Since it is a system install these can be pre provisioned so everything works straight off the bat.

This. Easy to update, easy to add to, means everyone is used to going to a single point to get things so you can build on it. URLs as shortcuts are a bit retro IMO.

EssentialRug's idea is a good one if google allows, if needed im more then happy to help as a client to help/assist to deploy usually my recommendation is main links desktop and then other links as bookmarks all depends what you are looking for, can also get some form off documentation written up for future use.
