Intune Deployment Guide

This guide covers deploying ZeroTier to Windows devices using Microsoft Intune.

Overview​

To deploy ZeroTier via Intune, you need to convert the MSI installer into a .intunewin file using Microsoft's Win32 Content Prep Tool. Once converted, it can be deployed like any other Intune app.

Prerequisites​

Deployment Steps​

1. Convert MSI to .intunewin​

Place the ZeroTier MSI installer in a folder and use the Win32 Content Prep Tool to convert it:

.\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c C:\ZeroTier -s ZeroTierOne.msi -o C:\Output

This creates a .intunewin file that Intune can deploy.

2. Upload to Intune​

  1. Go to Microsoft Intune admin center
  2. Navigate to Apps > Windows > Add
  3. Select Windows app (Win32)
  4. Upload the .intunewin file
  5. Configure install commands:
    • Install command: msiexec /i ZeroTierOne.msi /qn
    • Uninstall command: msiexec /x ZeroTierOne.msi /qn
  6. Assign to device groups

3. Post-Installation​

After installation, devices will need to be configured to join your ZeroTier network. You can either:

  • Manually join networks on each device
  • Use a PowerShell script to auto-join networks (see Enterprise Deployment Guide for Windows auto-join examples)

Devices will appear in ZeroTier Central and require authorization before they can communicate on the network.
