Apologies, my last comment wasn't clear. I meant copying the contents from your original ps1 file to a new one, THEN adding it as a new script in SM - not modifying the just source in your picture. As far as I know we can't create scripts in SM yet (good feature suggestion though). That being said, if it works from Intune, there might be something else going on. You could try creating a simple echo script and that will upload. If not, then this is something I would ask Meraki Support about.

I've been able to get ps1 files to work with success. You may want to start fresh. Make a new script in SM, copy the contents of your current ps1 into a new file with a new name, try to upload new file. And you've probably already done this but be sure the script runs locally on a machine before running it from SM. Good luck!

It sounds like your configuration profile might be misconfigured or something else might be broken before getting to that point. If you've changed any part of your enrollment process in the last week, a new configuration profile would need to be created to reflect that. Changing MDM servers, expired certificates, and network/user authentication changes are some things that come to mind.

Though I don't have experience specifically with this happening after license expiration, I have had to deal with orphaned MDM devices which I would assume would occur once the Systems Manager license expires. Assuming that's what would occur: 1. Will the settings remain on the smartphones that he has already setup? Answer: Yes. To remove the settings, you will need to either unenroll them first via Systems Manager, unenroll them on each device (if you allowed to be removed from the device), or erase each device AFTER the license has expired. 2. will the installed apps remain on smartphones? Answer: Yes, unless it is an app set to remove with MDM and you or the client were able to remove the MDM profile from the device. 3. Is there anything that he has to take care of that may happen if licenses are not renewed? Answer: No, if you unenroll the devices BEFORE the expiration period. Otherwise, they will need to remove the MDM profile on each device or erase it. If I were you, I would start unenrolling them a couple of weeks before the expiration to give enough time to take care of any devices that may be turned off/lost network. If they are tied to something like Apple Business Manager, remove those as well. And if I were your client, I would erase the devices anyways.

Glad to hear you got it working. It's hard to say what specifically allowed the .msi to run without digging far into this. But, it sounds like the install switches weren't recognized so the .msi failed to run until Meraki recognized a valid switch (/l for logging). Whether this is Meraki's or the .msi file's doing is difficult to say. I'll be sure to try this out if I run into this same problem though.

A quick test you can do is to install the msi via PowerShell using the same installation arguments you have in SM. You'll get more information this way if it does fail and can troubleshoot from there. If it doesn't fail, then you can add a log switch in the installation arguments using /l*v "C:\Log\File\Path.log". If you can see download logs on the computer, I would think you would be able to create a log file too. Hope this helps.

If you have the settings @ekramer configured then you should be able to do it from the device list. If you click the checkbox for the devices you want, there's a drop-down list called "Command" and you can choose "Send notification" from there.

That's a bit of a shame considering how large Windows is in Enterprise environments. That being said, This is a good enough answer for me. I was hoping for some other answers but this seems to be a tough topic. There are definitely some tricks I've picked up over the years that can get us fully (or at least nearly) automated. It'll probably involve some clever scripting. Considering this is such a lightly touched on topic, I might make a public page somewhere with my experiences to help other people in the same boat. Thanks!

Is there any MDM documentation specifically for Windows devices? We use iOS, macOS, and Windows at my workplace but run Windows on more than 90% of the machines. Most of the documentation I have found seems to tack Windows information at the bottom of the page. The information is lean compared to something like iOS profile and software deployment and feels a bit like an afterthought. Windows devices feel a bit neglected. Even posting this, there are labels for iOS, macOS, Android, and even Chrome OS but not one for Windows. I have a good amount of experience in SCCM and JamfPro from my previous job that has helped me along but I feel like I'm missing something when it comes to finding documentation. Does anybody have good documentation for deploying to Windows? Best practices? Are people using alternatives to Systems Manager for Windows provisioning?

You can view SM agent log files on Windows client machines at C:\Windows\temp\m_agent_service.log, m_agent_service.log.1, etc. You may also find logs specific to the software you tried to install in the same directory. There are also potential event errors that might occur. If you open Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > DeviceManagement-Enterprise-Diagnostics-Provider > Admin. Meraki has some documentation for these here near the bottom of the page. Frankly, when this happened to me neither of those provided enough information to narrow down the cause. Redeploying or reinstalling at the client device did end up fixing it for me and I am still digging into why.

This occurs at my workplace when we have somebody come in with a laptop and they plug it into a dock with a network cable. The computer will be associated to two clients - wireless and wired - and they will have the same name. The current way I filter these when searching for multiple clients is to just sort by Online/Offline status. It doesn't seem like the best way to do that though so if there's other suggestions, I would be willing to listen.
