Kiosk mode with intune for a monitoring TV / slideshow TV

Posted by Dark_Writer12@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Hi all,

I have a requirement to setup 100 kiosk devices and need to manage application's URL remotely.

Each Kiosk device has there own URL / file that needs to be loaded (through SharePoint potentially. We need to be able to manage those systems remotely.
I was thinking about Intune Kios mode, however I would need to create a config profile for each one, and keep them up to date, which is unmanageable in the future.

Anyone has fallen into this mess?

Essentially, each device needs to open a specific url, unique to the device. I don't know what kind of Voodo will not make this a mess.

By looking at the question this seems possible with SureMDM. You can use SureMDM and modify kiosk settings through XSLT.

Apply a common settings job to all devices, then select the specific device you want to update. Open the XSLT configuration, update the URL as needed for that device, and deploy the changes.

We do TV kiosks pointed to a google slideshow. We make one google account per building, and have individual slideshows for each TV. We give the google account to the non-tech person responsible for updating them. Unfortunately, each TV has it’s own config profile and device group.

I had a real hard time getting this to work with 365. AFAIK, it’s basically impossible to do this natively and have the slideshow play and in full screen. If anyone managed to get this to work i’d love to hear what you did.

There are easier ways to do this with digital signage solutions, but we don’t have the number of TVs like you to use a paid solution and this works out fine for us
