Answer 1

Ideally you would follow the configure-endpoints-vdi for the MDE enrolment. For the already deployed ones, yes you could use Intune for the on-boarding process.

Remember the Server OS is not supported by Intune in this regard.

Hi there,

In addition to Intune method for existing machines and VDI script, you can also use startup script via group policy. Here is a link for a detailed description of the process that you must follow.
