How to Start With Robopack (Step-by-Step Guide)

Now that you are familiar with Robopack features, we will set up our tenant.

Step 1: Create Your Robopack Automated App Packaging Account

Visit the Robopack website and create your account or request a free trial that can be later converted to your prod tenant after buying your license.

You can use your Microsoft Entra ID to sign in or choose an email/password account. If you use the email/password option, you will receive an activation email. 

Step 2: Connect your Intune Tenant

The first step is to connect your Intune tenant to Robopack. Connect your Intune tenant by going to Setup / Tenant.

• Once there, click on Connect Tenant on the right.

• Connect tenant will register Robopack as an application in your tenant. This option is required if you want to use the patching option of Robopack.
• Connect tenant (user) will run as on-behalf-of the user that connects the tenant. This option does not allow for automated patching 

Permissions needed for the Robopack Intune integration, Connect Tenant (Admin Consent) 

• Organization.Read.All
  • Used for reading information on connected tenants, including name, domain name and branding information such as the Tenant logo.

• DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All
  • Used for creating new applications in Intune, either as manual imports or as new versions uploaded from a patch flow.

• DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All
  • Used for reading the deployment status of applications for Robopack to monitor the progress of deployments and raise errors, or move to the next deployment wave.

• DeviceManagementServiceConfig.ReadWrite.All
  • When an application created by Robopack is added to an Enrollment Status Page as a required app for an Autopilot deployment, granting these permissions lets Robopack automatically replace older versions with newer ones when they are uploaded by Robopack as part of a patch flow.

• Group.ReadWrite.All
  • The read permission for groups is used by Robopack when creating deployment flows, allowing you to search through and pick out groups to be used for the assignment of software. The write permission is used when instructing Robopack, in a deployment flow, to create a new assignment group for a deployment, as well as being used by Radar Tracking to create the groups it uses.

• DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All
• Device.Read.All
  • These permissions are needed by Robopack for the Radar Tracking feature, which finds devices with apps that are not up-to-date and updates them. The Device.Read.All permissions aren’t strictly necessary for this feature to work, but errors are often experienced when patching some devices if they is not granted.

Step 3: Browse the App Catalog

Robopack includes a large catalogue of popular applications. At the time of this writing, there are 41000 applications supported, such as:

Step 5: Enable Automatic Updates

Setp 6: SCCM Import

The Robopack SCCM migration tool can be used to read application information and content from a local SCCM server, and upload the selected packages to Robopack, automatically converting them to IntuneWin so they can be imported to Intune.

The tool comes as a single executable, requires .NET Framework 4.7.2, and does not require installation.

You can run the tool with a user account that has access to the SCCM server, or manually specify a user account and password with the necessary permissions.

• Download the Robopack SCCM migration tool
• Run the .exe file to start the tool

• If the current Windows user account has access to the SCCM server, you need only press Connect
• Otherwise, enter the username and password for the user account you will use to connect to the server.

Select the applications to import

Select the applications to import and decide if they should be imported as IntuneWin or converted to MSIX packages.
