Project Overview

Objective

To deploy and configure Microsoft Intune for comprehensive management of the client’s IT infrastructure, including Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android devices, ensuring security, compliance, and streamlined operations.

Key Deliverables

1. Azure AD Configuration

• Configured Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as the backbone for device management.

• Created dynamic groups for organized and automated management:

  • IT Admins

  • Windows Machines

  • iOS Devices

  • macOS Devices

  • Jailbroken and Rooted Devices

2. Microsoft 365 Licensing

• Purchased and assigned Microsoft 365 licenses that include Intune for all users and devices, ensuring full functionality and scalability.

3. Apple Business Management (ABM) Integration

• Configured Apple Business Management (ABM) to streamline Apple device enrollment.

• Added all Apple devices to ABM using Apple Configurator.

• Linked Apple Configurator with Intune MDM for automatic device enrollment and management.

4. Automatic Device Deployment

• Enabled auto-deployment profiles for seamless device onboarding:

  • Apple Devices: Automatically added from ABM to Intune.

  • Windows Devices: Deployed using a pre-configured deployment package.

5. Compliance Policies

Implemented strict compliance policies to enhance security:

• BitLocker Encryption: Mandatory on all Windows machines.

• Device Integrity: Blocked rooted and jailbroken devices from accessing company resources.

6. Deployment Profiles

Configured deployment profiles to simplify device setup:

• Wi-Fi Auto-Configuration: Automatically set up Wi-Fi credentials on all devices.

• Device Renaming: All devices were automatically renamed using their serial number for easy identification.

7. Custom Scripts

Developed and deployed scripts for advanced automation:

• Rename devices if naming conventions were incorrect.

• Install required applications based on dynamic group membership.

• Create local admin accounts for IT staff.

• Configure TeamViewer for remote connection if required.

8. Phased Device Enrollment

• Enrolled all company devices in carefully planned phases to ensure smooth transitions and verify compliance and security at each stage.

Project Impact
