Microsoft Intune now offers built-in native controls for comprehensive management of your Macs, similar to managing Windows PCs, but without third-party integrations or extensions, reducing complexity and overhead. This post will guide you through its services. Stay tuned!

💻 Let’s kick off with Device Enrollment. Intune supports both user-initiated enrollment via the company portal for manual enrollment, and automated device enrollment leveraging Apple’s Business or School Manager.

🔒 With Intune, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) becomes a simplified experience, reducing password reuse and limiting password reset support calls.

🛠️ During device setup, users input their Microsoft work or school account. Managed by Entra ID, this step enables Single Sign-On (SSO), ensuring seamless and secure access post sign-in. With SSO, no more multiple sign-ins. It works across apps supporting Microsoft Authentication Libraries (MSAL), for a frictionless user experience across Microsoft apps and services.
