Step by Step: Joining a PC to Microsoft Intune

   October 9, 2023

Joining a PC to Microsoft Intune is a crucial step in managing and securing Windows devices within your organization. Intune is part of Microsoft Endpoint Manager and allows you to apply policies, deploy applications, and enforce security settings on enrolled devices. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to join a PC to Intune:

Prerequisites:

  • Ensure you have an active Microsoft Intune subscription and the necessary permissions to enroll devices.
  • Make sure the PC is running Windows 10 or a later version.
  • Ensure that you have an internet connection.

Step 1: Sign In to Windows

  1. Start your PC and reach the Windows login screen.
  2. If you’re already signed in with a local account (not a Microsoft account), sign out or restart the computer.

Step 2: Begin Intune Enrollment Process

  1. On the Windows login screen, click on “Other user.”
  2. You will see a “Sign in with your work or school account” link at the bottom of the login screen. Click on it.

Step 3: Azure AD Sign-In

  1. In the “Azure AD Sign-In” window, enter the username and password for your Azure AD account associated with your Intune subscription.
  2. Click the “Sign in” button.

Step 4: Confirm Device Enrollment

  1. After successful sign-in, Windows will verify your credentials and ask for confirmation to enroll the PC into your organization’s management. This includes Intune.
  2. Click the “Join” or “Enroll” button to proceed.

Step 5: Additional Information

  1. Depending on your organization’s setup, you may be prompted to provide additional information or confirm your identity. Follow the on-screen prompts and provide the required information.

Step 6: Device Naming and Finish

  1. You may have the option to name your device. Give it a meaningful name that helps you identify it within your organization.
  2. Click the “Next” or “Finish” button to complete the process.

Step 7: Intune Enrollment Confirmation

  1. Once the process is complete, you’ll receive a confirmation that your PC is now enrolled in Microsoft Intune.

Step 8: Sign In and Verify

  1. Sign in to your Windows account using your Azure AD credentials. You may need to restart your PC for the changes to take full effect.

Step 9: Verify Intune Enrollment

  1. To verify that your PC is successfully enrolled in Intune, you can go to “Settings” > “Accounts” > “Access work or school.” You should see your organization’s name listed there, indicating that the device is enrolled in Intune.

Your PC is now successfully joined to Microsoft Intune, which means it’s managed and controlled by your organization’s Intune policies. IT administrators can use Intune to apply security policies, deploy applications, and manage settings on the enrolled device. Users can access company resources and applications while benefiting from Intune’s management and security features.
