Handle Lenovo Vantage for Enterprise with Intune


A earlier put up on Configuring Vantage with Intune walked by means of deploying a PowerShell script to customise particular options within the Vantage interface.

This put up will construct off Managing System Replace with Intune and concentrate on ingesting the Vantage ADMX file and creating customized OMA-URI insurance policies.  This resolution is to supply a contemporary method to what’s at present provided within the utility and deployment information for Vantage discovered right here.
Contained within the zip is a .reg file that may disable client options within the Vantage interface that are not precisely crucial for Enterprise gadgets.  A snippet from the .reg file beneath.

;After disabling this stuff, the options that stay in Vantage are {Hardware} Settings, {Hardware} Scan, and System Replace

Earlier than Vantage could be of any use, the Lenovo System Interface Basis driver must be put in because it supplies the required communication between this utility and the pc {hardware}.  That is an .exe and the most recent model can at all times be downloaded from right here.

Create and Add the System Interface Basis Win32 App
You will want to make use of the Win32 Content material Prep Device to transform the app into the .intunewin format.

As soon as completed, a SystemInterfaceFoundation.intunewin file shall be created within the output listing.

Log in to the Machine Administration portal and navigate to Apps > Home windows > Add and select Home windows app (Win32) for the appl kind.

Step one within the wizard is to add the .intunewin file and fill out required and/or non-obligatory details about the app.

Enter the Set up/Uninstall instructions in Step 2

SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe /verysilent /NORESTART /kind=installpackageswithreboot

%SYSTEMROOTpercentSysnativeImController.InfInstaller.exe -uninstall

Set the necessities in Step 3

For Detection guidelines, the really helpful technique to decide if LSIF is put in is to question for the ImController service.  This is a brief PowerShell detection script that can be utilized

$lsif = "ImControllerService"

If (Get-Service -Identify $lsif -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
    Write-Host "Put in"
}

Proceed by means of the Add app wizard and deploy to a gaggle containing Suppose merchandise.  When you've got a fleet of ThinkPad P1's, a Dynamic Membership Rule for this group can be

(system.deviceModel -startsWith "20MD") -or (system.deviceModel -startsWith "20ME")


Ingest the Vantage ADMX file
Similar to System Replace, you may have to ingest the ADMX file supplied within the .zip, situated beneath LenovoVantage_20.1908.3.0Group Coverage Settings.

Again within the portal, navigate to Gadgets > Home windows > Configuration Profiles > Create Profile

Select the platform Home windows 10 and later and choose the Customized profile

Set the next fields:
Identify - Distinctive identify similar to Lenovo Vantage ADMX Ingest
Customized OMA-URI: Constructed as said within the docs.

./Machine/Vendor/MSFT/Coverage/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall/{AppName}/{SettingType}/{FileUid or AdmxFileName}

Substitute the next variables with one thing distinctive, similar to:

  • {AppName}: LenovoVantage
  • {SettingType}: Coverage
  • {AdmxFileName}: LenovoCompanion

Information Kind: String

Worth: Copy the contents from the LenovoCompanion.admx file right here

Click on OK to create the ADMX Ingest coverage and assign it to a gaggle.

Configure Vantage Settings
You'll be able to both add extra OMA-URI Settings to the ADMX Ingest coverage above or create a separate coverage with these settings.

In my testing, I've created a separate coverage for these.  The OMA-URI Setting must be formatted like this (Reference)

./Machine/Vendor/MSFT/Coverage/Config/{AppName}~{SettingType}~{CategoryPathFromADMX}/{SettingFromADMX}

With this, an instance to interchange the variables with information from the Vantage ADMX

{AppName}: LenovoVantage (Matched with what was configured throughout the ingestion)
{SettingType}: Coverage (Match with what was configured throughout the ingestion)
{CategoryPathFromADMX}: That is obtained by traversing the parentCategory parameter
{SettingfromADMX}: That is the coverage identify (GUID).

<coverage identify="9800b440-7EDf-4DF4-8F04-E2A88B5F856F" class="Each" displayName="$(string.9800b440-7EDf-4DF4-8F04-E2A88B5F856F)" explainText="$(string.9800b440-7EDf-4DF4-8F04-E2A88B5F856FExp)" key="SoftwarePoliciesLenovoE046963F.LenovoCompanion_k1h2ywk1493x8" valueName="9800b440-7EDf-4DF4-8F04-E2A88B5F856F">
      <parentCategory ref="CAT_BEA4CF23_6B19_4DC7_9F10_2DDE18EA21B5" />
      <supportedOn ref="SUPPORTED_OS" />
      <enabledValue>
        <decimal worth="1" />
      </enabledValue>
      <disabledValue>
        <decimal worth="0" />
      </disabledValue>
    </coverage>

The Vantage settings within the ADMX file could be fairly complicated since they're all recognized as GUIDs.

For those who open the LenovoCompanion.adml and do a discover for 9800b440-7EDf-4DF4-8F04-E2A88B5F856F, you may see it interprets to Tweet Us.

Now we are able to add these settings in Intune.  The tip result's to cover these options from the Vantage interface so every setting you add, the worth will have to be <disabled/>

This is a earlier than and after of the Vantage homepage after the system receives the insurance policies

Under are all the settings taken from the LenovoVantage_disable_consumer_features.reg file, transformed to Customized OMA-URI Settings which could be copied into Intune to deploy.
