Mastering Endpoint Management using Microsoft Intune Suite

Mastering Endpoint Management using Microsoft Intune Suite

By: Saurabh Sarkar, Rahul Singh

Overview of this book

Mastering Endpoint Management using Microsoft Intune Suite is one of the first books focused solely on Microsoft’s premium Intune features, offering hands-on, in-depth coverage for IT admins, security professionals, and endpoint engineers. Co-authored by a Microsoft Intune Product Manager and a Principal Consultant who is also a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), this book walks you through real-world implementation using backend architecture diagrams, registry insights, and troubleshooting techniques. You’ll start with cloud public key infrastructure (PKI), learning how to simplify certificate-based authentication. Then you’ll move on to endpoint privilege management (EPM) to enforce least-privilege access at scale. You will learn about Enterprise App Management, which helps you how to modernize app delivery, as well as Advanced Analytics, which reveals how to use Kusto Query Language (KQL) and Security Copilot for actionable insights. The book also covers Remote Help for secure support and Microsoft Tunnel for enabling BYOD access, and concludes with a curated list of essential Intune learning resources. By the end of this Intune book, you will have the practical expertise to implement, manage, and troubleshoot Intune Suite confidently in real-world enterprise environments.

Securing Digital Identities with Cloud PKI

In this chapter, we will understand the background, flow, and setup of Cloud PKI and get an overview of its practical implementation. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of digital certificates, detailing the authentication and authorization processes users undergo to access applications. The discussion then shifts to the advantages of Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) over traditional username and password methods. A comparative analysis of SCEP and PKCS follows, outlining the strengths and limitations of each approach. The chapter then explores the conventional method of SCEP certificate delivery using on-premises NDES via Intune, providing a step-by-step breakdown of the process. This is contrasted with the modern Cloud PKI approach, emphasizing its benefits in terms of simplicity and manageability. Subsequently, the chapter presents a detailed walk-through of the SCEP certificate delivery flow using Cloud PKI, supported by logs and block diagrams at each stage. It also covers the setup process for Cloud PKI, including the various deployment models and available reporting options. Finally, the chapter examines the post-deployment phase of SCEP certificate issuance via Cloud PKI, explaining how the issued certificate can be utilized for CBA and outlining the associated connection flow.

By the end of this chapter, you will possess the knowledge and practical skills necessary to deploy Cloud PKI solutions, effectively troubleshoot existing implementations, and develop a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in SCEP certificate delivery using Cloud PKI. Additionally, you will have gained insight into the configuration required to leverage client certificates for CBA.

The following main topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Background on certificates
  • Understanding SCEP cert delivery using on-premises NDES
  • The modern approach to SCEP cert delivery: Using Cloud PKI
  • In-depth flow of SCEP certificate delivery using Cloud PKI
  • Viewing the SCEP certificate at the device end
  • Cloud PKI setup
  • Reporting
  • Bonus insight: SCEP certificate delivery via on-premises NDES and Intune
  • The aftermath of certificate delivery using Cloud PKI
  • Our two cents
