This article will guide you through installing the Zoom Workplace for Windows via Intune. This deployment includes a collaboration suite – Team Chat, Whiteboard, Notes, etc. More important is the Zoom Meetings account. I have included a detailed explanation of the configuration required for the standard deployment Zoom Workplace application in the production environment.
The application version used in this article is 6.2.6.49050.

I have mentioned only the following parameters during the deployment process. Other settings are similar for every application, or you can set them as required. Make sure the following parameters, such as Install, Uninstall, and Detection Rules, are set for this application.
Parameters | Command / Value |
Install Command (silent) | msiexec /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart zSSOHost="vanity_URL" zConfig="AU2_EnableManualUpdate=1" MSIRestartManagerControl=Disable zSilentStart="TRUE" |
Uninstall Command (silent) | msiexec /x "{226FFF6C-3704-420E-A649-0840E4B7451D}" /qn |
Detection Rules | Rules format - Manually configure detection rules |
For generating the install log, you can add the following command line in the Install Command section
/L*V %windir%\logs\ZoomWorkspaceForMeetings-Install.log
You can use your custom path for its storage
Command line Demystification
Command | Description |
msiexec /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart | Silent Install |
zSSOHost="vanity_URL" | Replace the vanity_URL with your company domain. <vanity_URL>.zoom.us; e.g. ABCompany.zoom.us ABCompany is the vanity_URL This is required so that users need not have to put the domain every time they sign in to the application |
zConfig="AU2_EnableManualUpdate=1" | End users can “Check for Updates” in the Zoom client and install the latest update if required. I have added this in case we have not deployed the newest version of the Zoom client, and require an update at the user end. This is until we push out the new version. Autoupdate is not set up because I want control of Zoom updates. For Autoupdate, you can use: zConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=1" |
MSIRestartManagerControl=Disable | This command will hold the installation on the particular device if an end user has an active meeting. The update will take place only if there is no in-progress meeting |
zSilentStart | This will automatically start the app in the system tray after every reboot |
