## TL;DR
Silent Zscaler deployment through Intune means packaging the installer as a Win32 app with the right silent switches, assigning it to devices, and handling enrollment so users never see a wizard. Test on a pilot group, confirm the tunnel comes up without interaction, then roll out broadly.

## The query
```text
how to deploy zscaler client connector silently via intune
```

## Use this when
- rolling Zscaler Client Connector to managed Windows devices
- replacing an interactive install with a silent one
- pilot group validation before broad rollout

## Not for
- macOS deployment (use a PKG and a different flow)
- manual per-user installs
- devices not enrolled in Intune

## Steps
1. Download the Zscaler Client Connector MSI or EXE and your enrollment options from the Zscaler admin portal. Expected output: installer and enrollment settings in hand
2. Package it as an Intune Win32 app using the IntuneWinAppUtil with silent install switches. Expected output: an .intunewin package built
3. Set the install command with the quiet switches and the uninstall command for clean removal. Expected output: commands tested on one machine first
4. Define detection rules, such as the installed app version or a registry key, so Intune knows it succeeded. Expected output: detection rule that flips to installed
5. Assign to a pilot device group and confirm the client installs, enrolls, and the tunnel comes up with no user interaction. Expected output: silent install verified on pilots
6. Roll out to the broad assignment and monitor install failures in Intune. Expected output: deployment success rate tracked
