We’d like the ability to configure custom detection logic for Patch My PC catalogue applications when deploying via Patch My PC Cloud (not for custom apps).
Detection rules: Intune currently only allows a single detection type per app, which limits flexibility. Allowing customers to supply a PowerShell snippet that is appended to the Patch My PC detection script would let us layer in extra checks - e.g., looking for specific registry keys or files (such as VPN profiles) - in addition to the standard PMPC software/version detection. This snippet should persist across future versions of the app.
Future compatibility: If Patch My PC later supports native Intune detection rules and moves away from PowerShell, please continue to provide a way for customers to add complementary detection logic alongside the built-in detection.
More precise detection in real-world environments
Ability to align app deployments with device-specific customisations
Consistency across updates without manual re-work
