Deploy PuTTY to Microsoft Intune
Simon TathamWindowsversion 0.85.0.0, 14 August 2026
PuTTY is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Simon Tatham, 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
PuTTY as an Intune app
The standard form for a MSI (WiX) (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
- Install
- msiexec /i "PuTTY.msi" /qn /norestart
- Uninstall
- msiexec /x {3B0346D3-155D-43E5-9561-B9BE51CF2EB6} /qn /norestart
- Detection
- MSI product code. Product code {3B0346D3-155D-43E5-9561-B9BE51CF2EB6}, version 0.85.0.0 or newer.
- Requirements
- x86 (32-bit), x64, ARM64 · per machine
Installers in version 0.85.0.0
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 (32-bit) | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
| x86 (32-bit) | MSI (WiX) | per machine | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | MSI (WiX) | per machine | SHA-256 published |
| ARM64 | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
| ARM64 | MSI (WiX) | 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 PuTTY in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.
- Install location
- INSTALLDIR="<INSTALLPATH>"
About PuTTY
PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols.
These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs.
In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find PuTTY 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 Simon Tatham 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.
