When combined with Azure AD, Microsoft Intune offers the ultimate endpoint management solution for organizations ranging from small businesses to enterprises. It enables organizations to seamlessly manage company devices and applications from a single pane of glass, with advanced control over security policies and regulatory compliance.
The best part? Apart from remotely managing company-owned devices assigned to employees, Intune also allows businesses to regulate access to apps and data crucial to your business. That means you can control what kind of information your employees have access to, even when they’re on their personal devices.
But there’s a catch. If you want to manage a business application, you must first upload it to Intune. Simply dragging and dropping the .exe file to your Intune dashboard won’t work, because you have to first convert your application into a format that can be read and understood by Intune.
Normally, that means jumping through hoops inside Command Prompt and something called Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool. But with our Intune packaging tool, you can convert your business apps for Intune and deploy them across multiple tenants in Microsoft 365 with just a few clicks. Want to know how it all works?

Before you upload an application to Intune, you must convert the installation folder and package it into a .intunewim file. This is done using a special command line tool called the Win32 Content Prep Tool. Here’s what you need to:
Once the application has been packaged, it’s time to upload it to Intune so that you can deploy it to your Microsoft 365 tenants. This is done with Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM).
That’s a lot of steps, possible errors, and time spent packaging Intune apps. What if you wanted to deploy the same Intune application package to multiple tenants or copy it from one tenant to another? Unfortunately, there is no way to deploy the same app package to another tenant in Intune, so you are stuck having to repeat those steps for every deployment.

And that’s not all! If you’d like to deploy the same Intune application package to multiple tenants in bulk, you can do so from CoreView Configuration Manager's Reconcile tab.
Want to have a replica test tenant for Microsoft 365?
