If you’re trying to package the DCV Client for deployment through Microsoft Intune and are facing issues with unexpectedly large file sizes, here’s a simple way to handle it. Currently, there isn’t specific guidance available from AWS about packaging the DCV Client for Intune or troubleshooting why the file size inflates during packaging. Most details available relate to AWS’s integration with Intune for other purposes, like managing certificates or Amazon WorkSpaces, but not for packaging the DCV Client directly.
The problem appears to be with the Intune packaging tool itself, which seems to collect additional files like dependencies, runtime environments, or temporary files during the process. This causes the packaged file size to grow significantly — from a small installer to over 14GB, which isn’t ideal.
Since AWS and Microsoft offer a pre-packaged version of the DCV Client meant for Intune deployment in their Enterprise Catalog, that would be the best route if you have access. Using this pre-made package avoids the complications of creating your own, especially if packaging is causing issues.
If you decide to package it yourself, here are some steps to consider:
1. Review Microsoft Intune documentation about how the Win32 Content Prep Tool works. Sometimes, understanding what it includes can help you limit unnecessary files.
2. Check the logs from the packaging process to see what files or dependencies are being added. This can give you clues about what’s inflating the size.
3. If packaging continues to be problematic, think about alternative ways to deploy the DCV Client, such as using different deployment tools or methods outside of Intune.
For specific questions about deploying the DCV Client or if you’re still experiencing issues, reaching out directly to AWS Support is your best move. They can provide guidance tailored to this particular case, especially since it’s a more unusual situation not fully covered in public documentation.
