BungleBonce asked a question.
We are looking to deploy the Snow Inventory Agent Extension for Firefox users
The notes however do not mention deploying the Firefox Extension via its Intune ADMX Policy and only references JSON files which are not used inside Intune. Has anyone achieved this at all or is able to assit.
Thanks
Hey
Can you not just deploy it as part of the new Inventory Agent by enabling saas.firefox.enabled to true in the <SystemSettings> node of the snowagent.config, and deploy it when the agent runs?
Hi @Matthew Barton ,
after the massive participation over here https://community.flexera.com/s/feed/0D5Td0000090RgbKAE , i don't think anyone has walked that path (yet).
I haven't spend much time with the required ADMX/ADML, but it didn't look to complicated. https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#windows-intune-55 is the easy part, but with the last release we needed to use managed storage, where the policy templates leave it to the vendor https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#3rdparty.
Just reach out via email to oliver.berger@snowsoftware.com , and we'll find a way to make this part of our documentation.
Cheers Oli
Hi, just a tiny update on this topic.
It seems we have a "not fully supported" scenario with out current v1.0.5 Extension.
To roll out the extension itself, just use one of the endpoints here https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings with some json content data like , just with a different install url:
{"cloudmetering@snowsoftware.com" : {
"install_url" : file://C:\\Program Files\\Snow Software\\Inventory\\Agent\\FFCloudmetering.xpi,
"installation_mode" : "force_installed"
}}
But our v1.0.5 Extension requires (the deployment of managed storage, and I wasn't able to find the correct ADMX terms to achieve that properly (https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/discussions/1131 ) . If there is no new insights over there, we need to update our extension.
The v1.0.0 Extension (based on Manifest v2) doesn't have this additional requirement. You can find it in Inventory Agents for Windows prior to v7.0.2 or in our download area .
Cheers Oli
