Prerequisites

  • Administrator access to the Stratusphere UX Hub

  • A Windows 10/11 endpoint joined to Azure Active Directory

  • Downloaded Stratusphere UX CID Key from your Hub (includes Hub details pre-configured)

  • Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool from GitHub: Download here

Step 1 – Prepare the CID Key for Intune

  1. Download the CID Key .exe from your Stratusphere UX Hub

  2. Download and extract the Win32 Content Prep Tool from GitHub

  3. Launch IntuneWinAppUtil.exe.

  4. Provide the following:

    • Source folder: Path containing the CID Key .exe

    • Setup file: The CID Key .exe filename

    • Output folder: Destination for the .intunewin file

  5. The tool generates an .intunewin package for deployment

Step 2 – Create the App in Intune

  1. Log into Azure Portal

  2. Navigate to Intune

  3. Go to Client Apps → Apps → Add

  4. Under App type, select Windows app (Win32)

  5. Upload the .intunewin file created earlier

Step 3 – Configure Application Information

  • Description: Briefly describe the app purpose

  • Publisher: Liquidware

  • Logo: Optional—use the Stratusphere UX logo or similar

  • Company Portal settings: Not required for mandatory deployment

Step 4 – Set Installation & Uninstallation Commands

  • Install command:

    CIDKeyInstaller.exe /s

  • Uninstall command:

    CIDKeyInstaller.exe /x /s

    /s ensures a silent operation with no user interaction

Step 5 – Define Requirements

  • Operating system: Windows 10/11 (all versions) or specify minimum OS

  • Architecture: x64 or x86 as applicable

  • No additional hardware requirements necessary

Step 6 – Configure Detection Rules

Example (File-based detection):

  • Rule type: File

  • Path: C:\Program Files\Liquidware Labs\Connector ID

  • File or folder: tntgrd.exe

  • Detection method: File exists

Step 7 – Assign the Application

  2. Go to Assignments → Add group

  3. Choose:

    • Assignment type: Required (automatic install)

    • Target groups: Your desired Azure AD groups

    • Notifications: Hide toast notifications for seamless installation

  4. Save changes

Step 8 – Test Deployment

  1. Sign in to a fresh Windows 10 device joined to Azure AD with a user account assigned the CID Key

  2. After login, the CID Key will install silently in the background

  3. Verify installation by checking:

    • Presence of the application in Program Files

    • Registration in the Hub Administrator console
