Sign up for a Microsoft Intune account |
Sign up for an account at Microsoft Intune. For more information, see Task 1: Subscribe to Microsoft Intune in the documentation library for Intune. |
Make sure that you have a publicly registered domain name |
All user accounts must have a publicly registered UPN that can be verified by Microsoft Intune. GoDaddy or Symantec are typical examples of companies that provide domain names. |
Verify that users have a public domain UPN |
Before synchronizing the Active Directory user account, you must verify that user accounts have a public domain UPN. For more information, see Add User Principal Name Suffixes in the Active Directory documentation library. You can create a Configuration Manager custom report to verify that the UPN of the users who are discovered is consistent with the Intune Account Portal by using the following SQL query:
|
Optional, but strongly recommended: Deploy and configure Active Directory Federated Services (AD FS) |
When you set up single sign-on, your users can sign in with their corporate credentials to access the services in Intune. For more information, see the following topics: |
Deploy and configure directory synchronization |
Directory synchronization lets you populate Intune with synchronized user accounts. The synchronized user accounts and security groups are added to Intune. For more information, see Configure directory synchronization in the Active Directory documentation library. |
Optional, not recommended: If you are not using AD FS, reset users’ Microsoft Online passwords |
If you are not using AD FS, you must set a Microsoft Online password for each user. |
Create a DNS alias |
Create a DNS alias (CNAME record type). You have to configure a CNAME in DNS that redirects EnterpriseEnrollment.<company domain name>.com to enterpriseenrollment-s.manage.microsoft.com. For example, if Melissa's email address is Meliss@contoso.com, you have to create a CNAME in DNS that redirects EnterpriseEnrollment.contoso.com to enterpriseenrollment-s.manage.microsoft.com. The CNAME record is used as part of the enrollment process. |
Obtain the required certificates or keys for mobile device platforms |
For Windows RT devices: For Windows Phone 8 devices: For iOS devices: |
Create the Microsoft Intune subscription |
|
Add the Microsoft Intune connector site system role |
