RealmJoin has to deploy through Microsoft Intune by deploying the MSI as a Line-of-Business app. The following article is a step-by-step guide to deploy RealmJoin.
Use the following instructions to deploy RealmJoin:
Log in to your Azure portal
Navigate to Microsoft Intune and select Client apps
Then select Apps and click +Add
Under Other choose Line-of-business-app and click Select
Next click Select app package file
As App package file browse for RealmJoin.msi on your device
Then, click OK
Under App information fill in all required fields and set Ignore app version to Yes
Under Assignments add groups and users for your RealmJoin app
Under Review + create check all your settings
Finally click Create
Like any other application in Intune, ReamJoin can be assigned to the desired user groups as (required) software. It is not necessary to install additional software on the client devices to run RealmJoin. RealmJoin will be deployed on the client devices on the next Azure sync.
RealmJoin has worked with the Microsoft Defender Team to be whitelisted from malware detection. Since Defender is using more and more machine learning mechanisms to identify potential threats and RealmJoin has several features like cloud downloaded application installations, RealmJoin might be recognized by Windows Defender as a possible threat.
While this behavior is not certain, it is recommended to implement additional Windows Defender exceptions. Create a new device configuration profile, type Device restriction, or edit your existing profile and add the following Windows Defender Antivirus Exceptions:
Files and Folders
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoin.exe
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoinService.exe
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoinUpdate.exe
Processes
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoin.exe
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoinService.exe
%ProgramFiles%\RealmJoin\RealmJoinUpdate.exe
It`s important to configure the same path in Files and Folders and Processes. In some cases, Microsoft only checks one of this Defender Exceptions.
