Recommended Packages

Packages we recommend deploying from the Package Store alongside the RealmJoin Agent to get the most out of it.

When you roll out the RealmJoin Agent, we recommend deploying the following packages from the Package Store as well. Together they provide the agent itself, the shared helper functions our packages rely on, additional telemetry, and a better end-user experience.

Assign the RealmJoin Agent (Device) to devices. The additional packages (Core Choco Extension, Telemetry, and Promote Tray Icon) should be assigned to users.

RealmJoin Agent (Device)

Package Store: RealmJoin Agent (Device) — generic-realmjoin-agent-special-esp-device-phase

The RealmJoin Agent is the core client component running on your Windows devices. It enables features such as the RealmJoin ESP, application and configuration deployment, LAPS, notifications, and telemetry.

For the full, supported deployment procedure — including the required Intune configuration and Enrollment Status Page settings — follow the dedicated guide:

Deploying the Agent

RealmJoin Core Choco Extension

Package Store: RealmJoin Core Choco Extension — realmjoin-core.extension

Required helper for all RealmJoin package installations outside of Intune. It provides the shared PowerShell helper functions (cmdlets) that RealmJoin packages rely on during installation and uninstallation.

Please ensure this package is always up-to-date. We strongly recommend enabling Automation for the Main channel with a short delay (this requires a managed subscription).

The package should be assigned mandatory to all users, with auto-upgrade enabled.

RealmJoin Telemetry Package

Package Store: RealmJoin Telemetry Package — generic-realmjoin-publishstate-computersystem-information

This package collects additional telemetry information from clients:

  • Computer System Information (Vendor, Model, BIOS)

  • Office ClickToRun Settings (Channel, Excluded Apps, ...)

  • Enhanced Machine Information (CPU, Memory, Diskdrives, MACs, OEM LicenseKey, Secure Boot certificate ...)

  • Windows Update SafeGuardHolds

  • Windows Login (LastLoggedOnProvider)

  • Device certificates (with details like Subject, Thumbprint, Issuer, Validity etc.)

  • RealmJoin BIOS Management report (with BIOS password and settings status)

RealmJoin Promote Tray Icon

Package Store: RealmJoin Promote Tray Icon — generic-realmjoin-promote-tray-icon

Sets the RealmJoin tray icon to "always show" in the Windows notification area instead of being hidden in the overflow menu. This makes the RealmJoin Tray and Self Service Portal readily accessible to end users.
