Deploying Coro to Windows devices with Microsoft Intune
This guide describes how to deploy the Coro Agent to your Windows endpoints through the Microsoft Intune endpoint management platform.
To successfully deploy Coro to Windows endpoints via Intune, you need to:
- Download Coro Agent and the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool
- Package Coro as an Intune file
- Create the deployment in Intune
Download Coro Agent and the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool
Perform the following steps:
-
Sign in to your Workspace on the Coro Console. Navigate to
Control Panel > Devices > Agent Deployment
and locate the latest version of the Windows agent from the list of available versions. From the
Actions
menu, select
Download
to download a copy of the agent .MSI file to your local device.
- Download the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool utility “IntuneWinAppUtil.exe” from the Microsoft GitHub repository: https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool
Package Coro as an Intune file
Perform the following steps:
- On your local device, Create a folder called “Coro App”, and then create an additional folder within it called “CoroInstaller_ [workspace ID] ”, where the workspace ID is derived from the Coro Agent .msi file downloaded from the Coro Console.
-
Copy the Coro Agent installer .msi file into the "Coro App" folder.
Your directory structure should resemble this example:
-
Locate and run "IntuneWinAppUtil.exe", downloaded in a
previous step
.
The program starts a command prompt window, requesting “Please specify the source folder:”
-
For this and each subsequent prompt, enter the follow information:
- Please specify the source folder: The location of your Coro App folder
- Please specify the setup file: The name of the .msi file in the Coro App folder
- Please specify the output folder: The location of the CoroInstaller_ [workspace ID] folder within the Coro App folder
- Do you want to specify catalog folder: N
-
The utility creates an .intunewin file within the CoroInstaller_
[workspace ID]
folder.
Create the deployment in Intune
Perform the following steps:
- In Microsoft Azure, navigate to Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center .
- Navigate to Apps > All Apps , then select the “+” icon to add a new app.
