Intune Training: Microsoft Intune Full Course

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to use Microsoft Intune for mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). Whether you're an IT professional or a beginner, this guide will help you understand how to enroll devices, manage applications, apply compliance policies, and utilize updates effectively within your organization.

Step 1: Understanding Microsoft Intune

• Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that allows organizations to manage mobile devices and applications.
• It supports various devices, including Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS.
• Intune helps ensure devices comply with organizational security policies and allows remote management of applications and device settings.

Step 2: Enrolling Devices

• To manage a device with Intune, you must first enroll it.
• Enrollment can be done for both corporate-owned and personally-owned devices.
• Follow these steps for enrollment:
  1. Navigate to the device settings.
  2. Select "Accounts" and then "Access work or school."
  3. Click "Connect" and enter your Azure AD credentials.
  4. Once connected, the device is automatically enrolled in Intune.

Step 3: Applying Compliance Policies

• Compliance policies ensure that devices meet your organization's security requirements.
• You can create a compliance policy by:
  1. Going to the Intune portal and selecting "Devices."
  2. Click on "Compliance Policies" and then "Create Policy."
  3. Choose the platform (e.g., Windows) and configure required settings (e.g., password complexity, encryption).
  4. Assign the policy to specific users or groups.

Example of a compliance policy code snippet:

Password required: Yes
Encryption required: Yes

Step 4: Managing Applications

• Intune allows you to deploy and manage applications across enrolled devices.
• To add an application:
  1. Go to "Apps" in the Intune portal.
  2. Click "Add" and select the app type (e.g., Store App, Win32 App).
  3. For Win32 applications, use the Intune Win32 Content Prep Tool to convert the application to the .intunewin format.
  4. Upload the converted app and configure the installation and uninstall commands.

Example of an install command for a Win32 app:

msiexec /i "YourApp.msi" /quiet /norestart

Step 5: Configuring Update Rings

• Update rings control how and when Windows updates are applied to devices.
• To create an update ring:
  1. Go to "Devices" in Intune and select "Update Rings."
  2. Click "Create Profile" and configure settings such as quality update deferral period and upgrade options.
  3. Assign the update ring to specific devices or groups.

Step 6: Setting Up Enrollment Notifications

• Enrollment notifications inform users about new device enrollments.
• To configure:
  1. Navigate to "Devices" and select "Enrollment Notifications."
  2. Create notifications for email and push notifications.
  3. Customize the message and assign it to the relevant user groups.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we covered the essential steps to effectively manage devices and applications using Microsoft Intune. By enrolling devices, applying compliance policies, managing applications, configuring update rings, and setting up enrollment notifications, you can ensure a secure and efficient mobile device management environment.
