Microsoft Intune offers the ability to deploy Win32 Apps to Device Groups. You can now publish Win32 Apps as Available to Intune Company Portal using device groups as assignment groups.

Available assignments are only valid for almost all app types and platforms when assigned to user groups, not device groups. Win32 apps can be assigned to either user or device groups.

Before adding a Win32 app to Microsoft Intune, you must prepare the app using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool. You use the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool to pre-process Win32 apps, Intune Win32 App Deployment Step By Step Guide. 

After you have added an app to Microsoft Intune, you can assign the app to users and devices. It is important to note that you can deploy an app to a device whether or not Intune manages the device.
