Overview of this book

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-managed mobile device management (MDM) tool that empowers you to manage your end-user device estate across various platforms. While it is an excellent platform, the initial setup and configuration can be a daunting process, and mistakes made early on can be more challenging to resolve later. This book addresses these issues by guiding you through the end-to-end configuration of an Intune environment, incorporating best practices and utilizing the latest functionalities. In addition to setting up your environment, you’ll delve into the Microsoft Graph platform to understand the underlying mechanisms behind the web GUI. This knowledge will enable you to automate a significant portion of your daily tasks using PowerShell. By the end of this book, you’ll have established an Intune environment that supports Windows, Apple iOS, Apple macOS, and Android devices. You’ll possess the expertise to add new configurations, policies, and applications, tailoring an environment to your specific requirements. Additionally, you’ll have the ability to troubleshoot any issues that may arise and package and deploy your company applications. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn how to use Microsoft Intune to manage their organization's end-user devices.

Chapter materials

As with Chapter 2, this chapter will not cover all available policy types, so we will run through them all now to get a better understanding of what is available for Android devices. All profiles are available for creation for either corporate-owned (fully managed, dedicated, or work profile) or personally owned (work profile) devices. These profile types will be explained in the first recipe. We will also be concentrating on Android Enterprise devices; Android Device Administrator is now legacy and should not be used. Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is improving, but it is still less popular and has fewer options available.

The available profile types are as follows:

  • OEM Config: We will cover this later in this chapter. It is for configuring manufacturer-specific OEM settings (where applicable).
  • Derived credential: This is used for certificate authentication within apps. You can read more here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/mem/intune/protect...
