How to create an Intune QA environment

Question

I have been in environments where there is a production and a test Intune environment. I want the same thing for my environment. How do I create/accomplish this?

@Dylan Taylor Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Honestly, a test environment isn’t actually necessary. If you just buy a few seats of O365 Mobility + Security, or M365 E3 then you’ve got what you need. If you want an actual test bed, just sign up for a 30-day Trial.

But consider that if you just build the policies in production and scope them to a few test users/devices, you’ll be doing the same thing. This method has always worked well, and the other benefit is no re-building, just change the scope of who it applies to once everything goes right.

Hope it will clarify something.

Thank you, but I am looking for a long-term environment. We have a Test environment, but it is dirty and undocumented. I just don't have time to reverse engineer it to get it manageable.
