Possible to use previous version of the catalog?

[jaymichaud]

Is there a way to configure the PMPC Publisher to temporarily use an earlier version of its catalog?

Due to our change management process and a technical issue, my organization failed to publish GlobalProtect 6.2.3 before a new version, 6.2.4, was released. More specifically, in Intune, we *did* publish the regular app, but we did not publish the update app. We were about a day away from deploying 6.2.3, but now we can't. I have the installation file (because this is one of the ones that the customer has to provide), but based on past experience, the Publisher is not going to take it. Is there a way to tell it to use the catalog from two days ago (or whatever it would need to be) to publish that app?

Hey Jay,

Thanks for reaching out on the Forum! Unfortunately, we don't allow older catalogs/products to be published natively through the Publisher. However, if you need to side-load an older version of Global Protect or any product, you can do so with our new Custom Apps portal!

https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/custom-apps

Through the portal, you can upload the older binary and define the configuration. Once done, it will sync down to the Publisher and will be available under the "All Custom Products" section at the top of ConfigMgr Apps/Intune Apps/ Intune Updates.

From there you can configure any right-click options and publish it to your respective management system! 😊

If you have any questions on how to configure the Custom App portal, please don't hesitate to schedule a setup/review call using the links below:

Thank you for the reply, Spencer. I am familiar with Custom Apps, so I will use that method.
