Tutorial: Walkthrough Microsoft Intune admin center

Microsoft Intune provides the cloud infrastructure, the cloud-based mobile device management (MDM), cloud-based mobile application management (MAM), and cloud-based PC management for your organization. Intune helps you ensure that your company's devices, apps, and data meet your company's security requirements. You have the control to set which requirements need to be checked and what happens when those requirements aren't met. The Microsoft Intune admin center is where you can find the Microsoft Intune service, as well as other device management related settings. Understanding the features available in Intune will help you accomplish various Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) tasks.

Note

Microsoft Intune is a single, integrated endpoint management platform for managing all your endpoints. The Microsoft Intune admin center integrates Microsoft Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune.

In this tutorial, you will:

  • Tour the Microsoft Intune admin center
  • Customize your view of the Microsoft Intune admin center

If you don't have an Intune subscription, sign up for a free trial account.

Prerequisites

Before setting up Microsoft Intune, review the following requirements:

Sign up for a Microsoft Intune free trial

Trying out Intune is free for 30 days. If you already have a work or school account, sign in with that account and add Intune to your subscription. Otherwise, you can sign up for a free trial account to use Intune for your organization.

Important

You can't combine an existing work or school account after you sign up for a new account.

Tour Microsoft Intune in the Microsoft Intune admin center

Follow the steps below to better understand Intune in the Microsoft Intune admin center. Once you complete the tour, you'll have a better understanding of some of the major areas of Intune.

  1. Open a browser and sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center. If you are new to Intune, use your free trial subscription.

    Screenshot of the Microsoft Intune admin center - Home page.

    When you open the Microsoft Intune admin center, the service is displayed in a pane of your browser. Some of the first workloads you may use in Intune include Devices, Apps, Users, and Groups. A workload is simply a sub-area of a service. When you select the workload, it opens that pane as a full page. Other panes slide out from the right side of the pane when they open, and close to reveal the previous pane.

    By default, when you open the Microsoft Intune admin center, you'll see the Home page pane. This pane provides an overall visual snapshot of tenant status and compliance status, as well as other helpful related links.

  2. From the navigation pane, select Dashboard to display overall details about the devices and apps for your Intune tenant. If you are starting with a new Intune tenant, you won't have any enrolled devices or added apps yet.

    Screenshot of the Microsoft Intune admin center - Dashboard.

    Intune lets you manage your workforce's devices and apps, including how they access your company data. To use this mobile device management (MDM) service, the devices must first be enrolled in Intune. When a device is enrolled, it is issued an MDM certificate. This certificate is used to communicate with the Intune service.

    There are several methods to enroll your workforce's devices into Intune. Each method depends on the device's ownership (personal or corporate), device type (iOS/iPadOS, Windows, Android), and management requirements (resets, affinity, locking). However, before you can enable device enrollment, you must set up your Intune infrastructure. In particular, device enrollment requires that you set your MDM authority. For more information about getting your Intune environment (tenant) ready, see Set up Intune. Once you have your Intune tenant ready, you can enroll devices. For more information about device enrollment, see What is device enrollment?

  3. From the navigation pane, select Devices to display details about the enrolled devices in your Intune tenant.

    Tip
