Hey @JamesHeathcote What script was this? Happy to look and see if I can fix it for you.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for looking, this was the Update-ChocolateyApps for both Detect and Remediate

Happy to try and obtain logs from Chocolatey or Intune to help.

The other common issue we are seeing is a device timeout being hit which seems like intune has a hard limit of 300 seconds, not sure if you’d seen that with other scripts.

Kind regards

James

[JamesHeathcote]

We are using chocolatey for business so we aren’t limited by rate limiting.
