Intune Enrollment

Microsoft Intune was used to enroll and manage selected Windows 10 Pro devices within the Apex Services Lab environment.

The enrollment configuration was targeted through the Intune Lab Users security group.

Automatic Enrollment

An Intune automatic-enrollment configuration was created using Microsoft Entra ID.

The Intune Lab Users group was used as the target for Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrollment.

The group contained:

  • Emily Carter
  • Sarah Johnson
  • Daniel Smith

The MAM user scope remained unconfigured for this lab.

Intune Automatic Enrollment Configuration

Evidence: Automatic MDM enrollment configured for the Intune Lab Users group.

Emily Carter's Device

A fresh Windows 10 Pro virtual machine was configured for Emily Carter and joined to Microsoft Entra ID.

After the Entra ID join, the device was automatically enrolled into Microsoft Intune.

The Windows device showed the successful join and management configuration.

Windows 10 Microsoft Entra Join Success

Evidence: Emily Carter's Windows 10 device successfully joined to Microsoft Entra ID.

Enrollment Verification

The enrollment process demonstrated the relationship between Microsoft Entra ID and Intune:

Entra ID Join → Automatic Enrollment → Intune Managed Device → Application Deployment

Both Emily Carter and Sarah Johnson were successfully enrolled as managed Windows devices.

Daniel Smith remained in the Intune Lab Users assignment group but was not enrolled as a third managed device.

Support Perspective

From an IT Support perspective, the enrollment process provided hands-on experience with:

  • Checking Windows Entra ID join status
  • Verifying automatic Intune enrollment
  • Identifying managed devices
  • Checking device records in Intune
  • Verifying application deployment
  • Confirming Company Portal installation

These checks provide the foundation for troubleshooting endpoint-management issues.

Verification Workflow

The enrollment workflow was: Configure Enrollment → Join Device → Automatic Enrollment → Verify Management → Deploy Application → Verify Installation

The compliance and configuration policies applied to these managed devices are documented in the next endpoint-management section.
