Automatic updates from Cortex XDR in Intune

[NikitaMuny]

Hi Everone! Hope you can help me 🙂

I have acustomer use both Cortex XDR on their endpoints for monitoring, and Intune for app deployment etc. When receiving a new PC, it is configured through Intune. However, currently, the customer has to manually access Cortex, download the latest version, and then add it to Intune. They find this process time-consuming, especially when there are a couple of updates annually.

TLDR; The customer is wondering whether it is possible to automate this process so that Intune always has the latest version available from Cortex, eliminating the need for manual adding it. Is this a possibility?

Hi @NikitaMuny, thanks for reaching us using the Live Community.

They can always install the latest major version, and using the auto-upgrade feature in the "Agent Settings" profile in Cortex XDR they will have the latest version installed after the first heartbeat with the console.

Other option is to use the API with a script to retrieve the agent installation URL: https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR-REST-API/Get-Distribution-URL but they will need to create a new installation package for then newer versions and change the script.
