Podman CLI is the command line version of Podman. The intention is to deploy Podman CLI via Intune to users, without them requiring admin prompts or similar. WSL (Windows subsystem for linux is required and a reboot is required to fully install a windows feature change. Unable to figure out how to account for a reboot when deploying through PatchmyPC
So I figured out that I made a silly mistake. I left a trailing \ in the detection method. This was causing the delay or never getting to 'installed'. However it would still be nice to get a patchmypc version for automation.
Using execution bypass also helped and using the 'device may restart if application requires' option in Intune. This covered devices where WSL was not enabled.
