This is great! I am trying to create a System Variable rather than update the TMP or TMP. Wondering if you had anything that would relate to that. Been banging my head trying to take what you have and apply it to a System Variable.

*Edit, I figured this out now and can update here if folks are interested.

I'll be interested to see how you did it. I'm trying to do the same (a system variable from proactive remediation)

At the end of the [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable you need to write "Machine" instead of "User"
Example:

Detection

$LICENSE_FILE = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('LM_LICENSE_FILE','Machine')

If (!($LICENSE_FILE -eq '27000@licenseserver.contoso.com')){
    Write-host 'Non-compliant'
    Exit 1
}
Else{
    Write-host'Compliant'
    Exit 0
}

Remediate

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('LM_LICENSE_FILE','27000@licenseserver.contoso.com','Machine')

And of course, set "Run this script using the logged-on credentials" to No, so it runs under system context.

And what about to set an environment variable in intune package to deploy during autopilot pre-provisioning?
I explain better:
I have a first package (a powershell) that set an environment variable in all environments
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NETWORK_CONNECTION','CLOUD','User')
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NETWORK_CONNECTION','CLOUD','Machine')
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NETWORK_CONNECTION','CLOUD','Process')

and a second package (a vbs) that check that variable
Dim NetworkConnection : NetworkConnection = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%NETWORK_CONNECTION%")
If UCase(NetworkConnection) = "%NETWORK_CONNECTION%" Then NetworkConnection = "NoValueIsSet"

but is always "NoValueIsSet" :(

Any suggestions?
Thanks
