At a glance

In this learning path, you'll learn how to build the identity and enrollment infrastructure that supports cloud-based endpoint management with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID. You'll start by exploring Intune's role in modern endpoint management and the available management models, then configure Microsoft Entra ID to support policy targeting through users, groups, roles, and device registration settings. You'll go deeper into device identity and authentication, learning how join types and trust models affect device management and Conditional Access. From there, you'll plan and implement enrollment for Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Android devices, configure enrollment restrictions, and troubleshoot common failures. The learning path concludes with Windows Autopilot, where you'll register devices, configure deployment profiles, pre-provision hardware, and monitor and troubleshoot deployments.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of Microsoft 365 administration concepts
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Entra ID and user/group management
  • Access to a Microsoft 365 test tenant (recommended for hands-on practice)
