Deploy Joplin to Microsoft Intune
Laurent CozicWindowsversion 3.7.21, 25 September 2026
Joplin is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Laurent Cozic, synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.
The plan PatchBee writes
Joplin as an Intune app
The standard form for a NSIS (x86 (32-bit), per machine). The real plan is generated from the installer when you package, and shown in full before anything is published; every field can be changed.
- Intune app type
- Windows app (Win32), .intunewin
- Install
- "Joplin.exe" /allusers
- Uninstall
- "uninstall.exe" /S
- Detection
- Registry: the NSIS uninstall key. Uninstall key 499c114e-8890-5040-9c02-24abe7d3ebe9, DisplayVersion 3.7.21 or newer.
- Requirements
- x86 (32-bit) · per user or per machine
Installers in version 3.7.21
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 (32-bit) | NSIS | per user | SHA-256 published |
| x86 (32-bit) | NSIS | per machine | SHA-256 published |
PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.
Silent install switches
Recorded for Joplin in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About Joplin
Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format.
Notes exported from Evernote can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported.
Joplin is "offline first", which means you always have all your data on your phone or computer. This ensures that your notes are always accessible, whether you have an internet connection or not.
The notes can be securely synchronised using end-to-end encryption with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive and Joplin Cloud.
Full text search is available on all platforms to quickly find the information you need. The app can be customised using plugins and themes, and you can also easily create your own.
The application is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS. A Web Clipper, to save web pages and screenshots from your browser, is also available for Firefox and Chrome.

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find Joplin in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Laurent Cozic ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
