Flipping the switch: How to enable Co-management in SCCM Current Branch (System Center Configuration Manager)

by

Introduction

Co-management! It was announced last year at Ignite in Orlando and it’s being pushed heavily these days by Microsoft. For those who don’t know the ups and downs, co-management is basically (for those using ConfigMgr already) managing computers with both a Configuration Manager client and Intune MDM.

There are different possibilities to achieve co-management. It may sound complicated, but it’s not. I will walk you through the few steps required, as well as cover the precise prerequisites and how to troubleshoot issues if any. Note: This is precisely how I have done in a production environment. Curious? Read on 🙂

Remove inactive devices in Intune automatically using Microsoft Graph API and Powershell (and a scheduled task)

*Updated July 23 2018: Minor changes to the script doing the deletion*

Just like we do in Configuration Manager, Active Directory, Exchange and anywhere else (where possible), It’s a good idea to keep things clean (at least I think so). Clean in terms of removing inactive computers, objects, mailboxes and so forth. This brings me to Microsoft Intune and how we can leverage Microsoft Graph API through Powershell to automatically remove inactive devices, and doing so on a schedule through a scheduled task. Curious? Read on 🙂

Change device ownership in Microsoft Intune standalone using Microsoft Graph API and Powershell

by

Introduction

When enrolling devices into Microsoft Intune using the Company Portal, the devices end up enrolling as personal owned. This can be changed manually on each device directly in the Intune portal after enrollment. Making sure that all devices are company owned refines management and identification, as well as enabling Intune to perform additional management tasks. Also, for additional security, you can configure device restrictions to block enrollment of devices that are not company owned.

But what if we don’t like to do stuff manually and have hundreds or thousands of devices? Automation through Microsoft Graph API and Powershell to the rescue.

Conditional Access: Require MFA for accessing Exchange Online Webmail if browsing from a private device

by

Introduction

While brewing on a much more detailed post on how I moved my devices from Intune Hybrid with ConfigMgr to Intune standalone, I thought I’d share how you can offer webmail for your users, while requiring MFA (Multifactor Authentication) if not coming from a company device, using Conditional Access.

In this post I will only cover the actual steps in Intune, but for this to work, you will have to have your Windows devices registered with Azure AD. There will be some requirement for your on-prem AD and for your ADFS, if that’s how you federate with Azure/O365. These requirements are explained in details in this Microsoft article: https://docs.microsoft.com/da-dk/azure/active-directory/device-management-hybrid-azuread-joined-devices-setup
