How do I manually add a device to Intune?

To manually add a device to Intune, follow these steps:

Step 1: Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center with your administrative credentials. This portal is commonly accessed through the URL: https://endpoint.microsoft.com.

Step 2: In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, navigate to the "Devices" tab and select "Enroll devices" from the sidebar menu.

Step 3: On the "Enroll devices" page, click on the "Add Devices" button to initiate the manual enrollment process.

Step 4: In the device enrollment options, select the platform of the device you want to add to Intune, such as Windows, iOS, or Android.

Step 5: Configure additional settings based on your organization's requirements. These settings may include specifying whether the device will be used for personal or corporate purposes, configuring custom profiles, and enabling or disabling features like app installation, data sync, and encryption.

Step 6: Once the settings are configured, select the enrollment method. Intune provides several enrollment methods like user-driven, self-deploying, or enrollment using Apple Configurator for macOS devices.

Step 7: After selecting the enrollment method, a configuration profile file or a registration code will be generated, depending on the selected method. This file or code will be used to enroll the device into Intune.

Step 8: Manually enroll the device using the generated configuration profile file or registration code. The enrollment process varies depending on the device platform. For example, on Windows devices, users can go to the "Settings" app, select "Accounts," and then choose "Access work or school" to proceed with the enrollment. On iOS devices, users can open the "Settings" app, select the "General" tab, and tap on the "Device Management" or "Profiles & Device Management" option to initiate the enrollment process.

Step 9: Once the device is enrolled, it will be listed in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center under the "Devices" tab, along with other managed devices.

Step 10: From the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, you can now apply policies, deploy apps, and manage the device's configuration to ensure compliance and security.

Note: It is important to note that manually adding a device to Intune requires administrative privileges and access to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.

By following these steps, organizations can easily add devices to Microsoft Intune manually, enabling them to effectively manage and secure their device fleet. This ensures that devices are properly configured and meet the organization's security and compliance policies, providing a seamless user experience while maintaining data security.
