Install apps and add them to dockSolved

Recently my company has decided on some basic apps for the employees to perform their daily tasks. These include chrome for browsing, outlook for mail and slack for communication. I don’t want the users to manually install these apps one by one and make mistakes during the process or install the wrong apps. My need is to remotely install the apps on their macs and also add them to dock. As these are frequently used apps, it is better to add a shortcut in the dock for easy access.

Hey @connor,
Welcome to the Hexnode community.

Hexnode UEM has exactly what you are looking for. Refer to our documentation on how to silently deploy apps to macOS devices to install the required apps on the macOS devices remotely.

After installing the required apps, you can deploy a custom script that adds the required apps to the Dock using the Execute Custom Script action in Hexnode UEM.

Hope that clears up your query.

Cheers!
