The focus for this type of installation is aimed at users who are looking to deploy and manage the HP Insights application using cloud-based tools from Intune as well as using the bundled executable Windows files offered by Setup. This article covers the deployment of the HP Insights agent using Microsoft Intune using the setup method.

Follow these steps to deploy the HP Insights Windows Application (also referred to as Windows Agent) using setup.exe and to enroll devices using Microsoft Intune:

  1. Download the HP Insights Windows Agent

  2. Convert Windows Agent with Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool

  3. Create an HP Insights Device Application

  4. Verify Installation

  5. Sync the Devices

Before beginning these steps, provide the UPN suffixes to your HP Service Expert or Business Partner. You’ll also need your company-wide PIN from the HP Workforce Experience Platform portal.

For additional information, refer to the article - Obtaining the User Principal Name Domain Suffix.

Downloading Windows Agent Using the Setup Method

To download HP Insights Windows Application:

  1. Download the HP Insights Windows Application from https://workforceexperience.hp.com/software

    • For details about setup.exe, refer to the article - Installing the HP Insights Windows Application

      • The HPInsights.zip or HPInsights-arm64 does not contain the file setup. The setup can be downloaded from - https://workforceexperience.hp.com/software.

      • The HP Insights Analytics Client - Dependencies package cannot be installed on non-HP manufactured PCs, including Virtual Machines.

    • Download the HP Insights application installation powershell scripts file here.

    • Extract the content of downloaded HP-Insights-Installation-Scripts.zip. It will contain hp-insights-detection-and-remediation-script.ps1 and hp-insights-installer-script.ps1.

    • Open both scripts and replace ENTER_COMPANY_PIN with the actual company pin and save.

To configure proxy or update settings for the HP Insights Device Software, create a batch script to add the required registry keys and specify the batch script in the Installation Program. By default, HP Insights will enroll after auto-updating. To enable enrollment without auto-updating add UPDATEBEFOREENROLL=0, like this in hp-insights-installer-script.ps1 at line 15:

$arguments = "/silent HIDETRAY=True CPIN=$PIN_VALUE UPDATEBEFOREENROLL=0"

Important: If the customer or IT Administrator is enforcing strict PowerShell execution policies (such as AllSigned, RemoteSigned, or other restricted execution policies), the provided uninstall PowerShell script hp-insights-detection-and-remediation-script-intune.ps1 and hp-insights-installer-script.ps1 must be digitally signed before deployment. In such environments:

  • The IT Administrator must sign the provided PowerShell uninstall script with an approved code-signing certificate.The signed script must be used when configuring the application deployment in Intune or SCCM.

  • The IT Administrator must ensure that the corresponding code-signing certificate (or its issuing CA certificate) is present in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities or Trusted Publishers store under the Local Computer certificate store on all target devices.

  • Failure to meet these requirements may result in the uninstall script being blocked by the system execution policy.
