# Features

Optional RealmJoin Agent features for Windows clients: ESP, app deployment, LAPS, notifications, AnyDesk, and compliance checks.

RealmJoin Agent is an optional component that you can use alongside RealmJoin Portal on Windows 10/11 clients. It enables additional features such as:

* [RealmJoin ESP](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/realmjoin-esp.md)
* [RealmJoin Application / Configuration Deployment and Lifecycle](/application-management/packages/package-store/package-store-details.md#realmjoin-deployment)
* [Local Admin Password Solution (LAPS)](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/local-admin-password-solution-laps.md)
* [Notifications](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/showing-notifications.md)
* [Native Choco Runtime](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/native-choco-runtime.md)
* [AnyDesk Integration](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/anydesk-integration.md)
* Audit tasks (collecting device/client information)
* [Advanced Telemetry](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/advanced-telemetry.md)

## Compliance Checks

RealmJoin uses the **user identity** and checks it at a Cloud-Service for an **Extended Policy** and optionally for a **Secondary Identity**, then the RealmJoin Security Assessment **checks if the system is qualified** (Encryption, Patch Level, Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc. - optionally, an Intune-Health-Check may be sufficient). If the user's device is eligible **software- and configuration-policy** will be applied (Mandatory Applications, etc.).

This can trigger[ package installations](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/deploy-apps.md#package-installation) and the display of[ RealmJoin's own ESP ](/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client/realmjoin-esp.md)page.

## Processes

RealmJoin is responsible for two different processes running on the device:

* The **`realmjoin.exe`** process is started up automatically on Logon. The process is always running and sends upstream data every 15 minutes.
* The **`realmjoinservice.exe`** is called when a package requires the **SYSTEM mode** to be processed. It is not running by default.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.realmjoin.com/realmjoin-agent/realmjoin-client.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
