How do I enrol my University owned Windows (Pro or Enterprise) device for Intune MDM?

Aimed at:  Edinburgh Napier’s staff

Intune is the technology used for University’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) service for staff members.  Find out more...

This guide explains the installation procedure to enrol Windows devices that are University owned (corporate) into Intune MDM (suitable for shared devices). Your experience may differ slightly depending on the operating system version, but the principal procedure will be comparable.  A printable PDF version can be found here. 

Please note:  this is for Windows 10 Pro or Education edition and is not suitable for Windows Home edition (use the home method instead).

There are two different procedures to enrol your corporate device depending on its state:

1. A brand-new Windows 10 device that has just arrived out of its box hasn’t been set up, or a device that has just reverted to a factory reset.
2. An already configured Windows 10 device that is currently in use and already been configured through the windows starting set up.

1. To join a brand-new Windows 10 device 

If your device is brand-new and hasn’t been set up yet, you can go through the Windows Out of Box Experience (OOBE) process to join your device to Intune.

• Start up your new device and begin the OOBE process.
• If you see the How would you like to set up? screen, Choose Set up for an organisation then click next:
