Table of contents

Learn how to deploy Docker Desktop for Windows and Mac using Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based device management tool.

  1. Sign in to your Intune admin center.

  2. Add a new app. Select Apps, then Windows, then Add.

  3. For the app type, select Windows app (Win32)

  4. Select the intunewin package.

  5. Complete any relevant details such as the description, publisher, or app version and then select Next.

  6. Optional: On the Program tab, you can update the Install command field to suit your needs. The field is pre-populated with msiexec /i "DockerDesktop.msi" /qn. See the Common installation scenarios for examples on the changes you can make.

    Tip

    It's recommended you configure the Intune deployment to schedule a reboot of the machine on successful installs.

    This is because the Docker Desktop installer installs Windows features depending on your engine selection and also updates the membership of the docker-users local group.

    You may also want to set Intune to determine behaviour based on return codes and watch for a return code of 3010.

  7. Complete the rest of the tabs and then review and create the app.

First, upload the package:

  1. Sign in to your Intune admin center.
  2. Add a new app. Select Apps, then macOSs, then Add.
  3. Select Line-of-business app and then Select.
  4. Upload the Docker.pkg file and fill in the required details.

Next, assign the app:

  1. Once the app is added, navigate to Assignments in Intune.
  2. Select Add group and choose the user or device groups you want to assign the app to.
  3. Select Save.
