Other Product Management Operations

Besides publishing products to Intune, you can also retry failed product publications, approve new product releases, delete product versions from Intune, or stop managing products.

How to Retry Publication Failures

When receiving a Failed status upon attempting to manage a product, you can retry to publish it by following these steps:

  1. Select the product(s) that failed.
  2. Select Retry.
    This button is disabled if you select products that have not failed.
  3. Review the list of selected products.
  4. Select Retry.

If successful, the count on the Failed Publications tile is decremented.

How to Approve New Releases

When managing a product, you can choose to require manual approval when a new version of the product becomes available. New product versions are viewed by selecting the New Versions tile.

There are two methods to approve or reject a new product version:

  • In the Alert column, select New version available, review the details and then select either Approve or Reject.
  • On the Products tab, select the check box for the product. To approve the latest new version, select Approve release.
    To reject the latest version, select the drop-down selector next to the Approve release button and select Reject.
    This button is disabled if you select a product that does not require a new version.

If successful, the count on the New Versions tile is decremented.

How to Publish a Specific Version

In addition to managing products, you can also publish a specific version of a product to Intune. This is particularly useful for unmanaged products, but you can also use it to publish a specific version of a managed product that requires approval.

To publish a specific version:

  1. On the Products tab, select the required product.
    The product page appears.
  2. In the table, select the version you want to publish, then click Publish version.
    The Publish Version dialog appears.
  3. Complete the panel as required (for details, see How to Manage Products), then click Publish.
    The version is published to Intune.

How to Delete Products from Intune

Sometimes you might want to delete versions of products that you have published to Intune. Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune simplifies this by handling any supersedence chains that may exist.

To delete a specific version:

  1. On the Products tab, select the required product.
    The product page appears.
  2. In the table, select the version you want to delete, then click Delete from Intune.
    The Delete Version panel appears, giving different options depending on whether the version has a supersedence relationship.
  3. If there is no supersedence chain, the dialog reports this. Click Delete. The version is deleted.
    If there is a supersedence chain, there are two options:
    • Delete Child Applications: Deletes all child versions in the supersedence chain. The versions that will be deleted are listed.
    • Reconcile Supersedence Chain: Deletes only the selected version and remaps any child versions to its parent to reconcile the supersedence chain. Click Preview to see a visualization of the change.

    When you have selected the option you require, click Delete. The deletion starts with the supersedence chain updated as selected.

How to Stop Managing Products

If you stop managing products, new versions of those products are not published to Intune.

To remove products from Intune, you must do that from your Intune environment.

To stop managing products, follow these steps:

  1. In the dashboard at the top of the page, select the Managed Products tile.
  2. In the table at the bottom of the page, select the products to stop managing.
  3. Select Stop managing.
    This button is disabled if you select an unmanaged product.

If successful, the count on the Managed Products tile is decremented and the count on the Unmanaged Products tile is incremented.
