Intune Device Onboarding and Deployment

Intune device onboarding and deployment involve preparing devices to be securely managed and configured through Microsoft Intune. The process starts with verifying licensing and permissions, setting up compliance policies, and creating configuration profiles for device settings and applications. Devices are then enrolled either manually or automatically using tools like Windows Autopilot for corporate-owned devices. Applications are deployed through the Intune Company Portal, and devices are monitored to ensure they adhere to compliance and security standards. Post-deployment, user training and regular monitoring are essential to maintain security and optimize device performance. This process ensures efficient and secure device management for an organization.

Pre-requisites Setup: • Verify Microsoft Intune licensing and permissions. • Configure Azure AD and ensure devices are properly enrolled. • Ensure network and firewall settings allow required Intune endpoints.

Create Policies: • Define device compliance policies. • Create configuration profiles for device settings, restrictions, and apps. • Set up security baselines for supported devices.

Prepare Devices: • Factory reset or update devices to a supported operating system version. • Enable auto-enrollment in Azure AD for corporate-owned devices. • Pre-configure devices using Windows Autopilot or similar tools.

Deploy Applications: • Publish necessary business applications in the Intune Company Portal. • Configure app deployment settings, such as assignment groups and availability.

Onboard Devices: • Enroll devices manually or automatically, based on organization needs. • Test enrollment with pilot devices before scaling deployment. • Ensure successful device registration in Intune.

Validate Deployment: • Verify devices comply with configured policies. • Check app installations and accessibility. • Resolve any enrollment or deployment issues.

Post-Deployment: • Document the onboarding and deployment process for future reference. • Provide admin training and resources for the Intune Company Portal.
