You can remotely manage Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs by using the Microsoft 365 admin center or the Windows App . Each supports several remote management actions. To use these remote actions, you must have the following Microsoft Entra role-based access role:
- Windows 365 administrator
As a user with one of the above admin roles assigned, you can manage Cloud PCs in your organization in various ways:
Windows App
You can sign in using the Windows App to:
- Add a user and assign a license.
- Assign or unassign licenses.
- Change organization default settings.
- Use remote actions on Cloud PCs.
- Reset a user's password.
Microsoft 365 admin center
You can sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center to use remote actions on Cloud PCs.
Intune
Unlike Windows 365 Enterprise, Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs do not require Microsoft Intune. You can fully provision, license, and run remote actions on Business Cloud PCs using the Windows App experience or the Microsoft 365 admin center — no Intune subscription or MDM configuration is needed to get users up and running.
However, if your organization already uses Intune (or wants the additional management capabilities it provides), Business Cloud PCs can be enrolled in Intune and managed alongside your physical Windows endpoints. Once enrolled, you can use Intune to:
- Deploy and manage apps (including Microsoft 365 Apps) on Business Cloud PCs.
- Apply configuration profiles and compliance policies.
- Use the same management procedures you use for Windows 10/11 physical devices.
Note
Enrolling Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs in Intune does not unlock Windows 365 Enterprise–only capabilities such as custom images, provisioning policies, or Endpoint Analytics connection reports. Those remain exclusive to Windows 365 Enterprise.
To set up Intune management for Business Cloud PCs:
- Ensure you meet the prerequisites — the Windows 365 Administrator role and an Intune license for each Cloud PC user. See Intune Fundamentals.
- Confirm the MDM Authority in Intune is set to Intune MDM Authority in the https://intune.microsoft.com.
- Turn on automatic enrollment for new Cloud PCs:
- In the Windows App , select Admin > Update organization settings > Setup tab, and enable Enroll new Cloud PCs in Microsoft Intune, or
- In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Settings > Org settings > Services > Windows 365, enable Enroll new Cloud PCs in Microsoft Intune, and select Save.
After enrollment, follow the standard Windows enrollment procedure used for Windows 10/11 devices in Intune.
For full step-by-step guidance, see:

Enroll Windows devices in Intune — the same enrollment procedure used for physical Windows 10/11 machines applies to Business Cloud PCs.
