Deploy Simba Spark ODBC Driver to Microsoft Intune
Simba Technologies Inc.Windowsversion 2.9.2, 25 April 2025
Simba Spark ODBC Driver is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Simba Technologies Inc., synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.
The plan PatchBee writes
Simba Spark ODBC Driver as an Intune app
The standard form for a Zip archive (x64, per machine). The real plan is generated from the installer when you package, and shown in full before anything is published; every field can be changed.
- Intune app type
- Windows app (Win32), .intunewin (wrapped)
- Install
- Wrapped: extracted into Program Files, a Start menu shortcut created, by PatchBee's silent-install wrapper.
- Uninstall
- The wrapper removes the install folder and the shortcut.
- Detection
- File: the main executable. The main executable in the install folder, version 2.9.2 or newer.
- Requirements
- x86 (32-bit), x64 · per machine
Installers in version 2.9.2
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 (32-bit) | Zip archive | per machine | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | Zip archive | per machine | SHA-256 published |
PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.
Silent install switches
Recorded for Simba Spark ODBC Driver in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About Simba Spark ODBC Driver
The Simba Apache Spark ODBC Connector is used for direct SQL and HiveQL access to Apache Hadoop / Spark distributions, enabling Business Intelligence (BI), analytics, and reporting on Hadoop-based data. The connector efficiently transforms an application’s SQL query into the equivalent form in HiveQL, which is a subset of SQL-92. If an application is Spark-aware, then the connector is configurable to pass the query through to the database for processing. The connector interrogates Spark to obtain schema information to present to a SQL-based application. Queries, including joins, are translated from SQL to HiveQL

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find Simba Spark ODBC Driver in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Simba Technologies Inc. ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
