The guide to Microsoft Intune resources

[Guest Lior_Bela]

Whether mobile or desktop, virtual or physical, in the office or out in the world, Microsoft Intune can help you secure access to your company resources and keep your workforce productive from a single pane of glass. While this is an awesome capability, it also brings some complexity with it. Customers have asked for a guide that spells out explicitly what they should do to get started with Intune. Here you'll find the resources you need before, during, and after your Intune deployment.

[HEADING=1]Helping you help your end users[/HEADING]

 

Successful Intune adoption doesn't begin and end in the IT department. To help your users enroll their devices, we've also revised and re-launched our Intune Adoption Kit. Customize and send these assets as part of your internal campaign to get users to manage their devices with Intune. In one file you can get:

 

• Two customizable email templates
  
• One customizable enrollment guide
  
• One printable poster
  

 

These assets answer frequently asked questions and include links to online videos and demos of exactly what users will need to do to enroll their iOS/iPadOS and Android devices to Intune.

[HEADING=1]Documentation of all sizes[/HEADING]

 

If you have more questions or use-cases, we have resources for almost any scenario you might come across with Intune. Our library is organized by objective, platform, industry, or scenario and is the standard for reference and in-depth explanation. To view the selection of documentation in the library, visit the Microsoft Intune documentation.

 

[HEADING=1]For more help[/HEADING]

 

If you find yourself with a need that can't be met by the documentation, we've got even more resources available to you. Our community pages have blogs and forums where you can get news, updates, and answers from peers and product engineers. The Intune Support Team on X is also a great resource.

[HEADING=1]Help from fellow professionals[/HEADING]

 

We did some deep-dive interviews with IT pros who made the switch to Intune and asked them to speak to other IT pros. Hear from your peers on what it's really like to negotiate the personal, organizational, and technical steps involved in moving to Intune—as well as what it's like on the other side. Each interview is indexed and linked, so you can get right to the questions that matter to you most.
