I am trying to pin the New Teams icon to the taskbar via Intune, and it does not seem to be working; here is the XML file I am using: (It is correctly pinning Outlook and Word to the taskbar, but not New Teams) Instead of using the App User Model ID I want to try to use the Desktop Application Link Path of New Teams, but I do not see where the New Teams shortcut is natively created. (Am I going to have to copy the New Teams shortcut from Intune to the following location? DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs** Below Method Is Not Working: AppUserModelID="MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSTeams Has anyone been able to successfully pin New Teams to the taskbar via Intune?

    @Autumn Fox Use the XML like below and you are good to go. So the reason here is every app has a unique AppID for New Teams it is MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSTeams

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LayoutModificationTemplate
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
    xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
    xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
    xmlns:taskbar="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/TaskbarLayout"
    Version="1">
  <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection PinListPlacement="Replace">
    <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
      <taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
		<taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSTeams" />
      </taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
    </defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
 </CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>

    @Autumn Fox, Thanks for posting in Q&A. The Desktop Application Link Path for New Teams can be found by pinning the application to the Start menu on a reference or testing PC, opening Windows PowerShell, and running the Export-StartLayout cmdlet. The generated XML file will contain an entry corresponding to the app that was pinned, with a property labeled DesktopApplicationLinkPath. It is not necessary to copy the New Teams shortcut from Intune to the specified location.

    As for the issue with pinning the New Teams icon to the taskbar via Intune, it is recommended to check if the XML file is correctly formatted and if the Desktop Application Link Path for New Teams is correctly specified.
