Has Anyone Discovered an Alternative Method that Doesn’t Require User Involvement, aside from Entering Their Microsoft 365 Account?
Question
Hi All,
I am looking for a way to remotely integrate about 100 users/computers into Intune. I have set up Autopilot, which works for me at around 75-80% for software installations, settings, and policies. I know the best method would be to format the computers, but I am looking for a remote solution because the computers are spread across different cities. Has anyone found another method that does not involve the users, except for entering their Microsoft 365 account?

Michael Pantner All this has already been done. Is the problem that I don’t see the computers in Intune because of the ban on personal computers ? In Intune, I only have computers that went through autopilot or were manually registered as company computers through Intune, due to the security strategy. I see the remaining missing ones as “personal computers” only in AzureAD, but not in Intune.

Michael Pantner Yes, it’s on auto enrollment for Intune but without being registered in the autopilot of the computers, nothing will work.

Martin Damyanov Autopilot is for a fresh install of windows going through the Windows OOBE, it has nothing to do with joining an existing computer to Intune.
If the computer is AzureAD Joined(***) then you turn on the auto provisioning and it should mostly just join.
Things like Conditional Access policies can occasionally cause issues, but overall it should be pretty painless.
Also the user needs to have a license that includes EntraID P1.

Martin Damyanov To answer some of your other questions. 99% sure installing the Company Portal app would need admin rights. So does joining a computer to AzureAD, so you’re going to need that at some point.
Is there any kind of RMM on the devices? Basically, unless you already have some way to remotely manage the devices, it’s going to be a ‘one computer at a time’ type process, assuming you can’t get the users to follow instructions to do something like join the device to AzureAD.

Michael Pantner There is no RMM. The computers have long been added to AzureAD. I use TeamViewer to remotely manage the devices.

Martin Damyanov They’re Azure Joined? So, turn on auto enrollment for Intune? You shouldn’t need to be doing anything special. Unless i’m missing something?

enroll them via company portal / other way
set policy to add them to autopilot and then refresh the pc
its more steps but doable

Miroslav Hausknecht These computers do not have the portal because they are hybrid (the current situation – registered as personal computers in Entra AD with their MS 365 accounts). The portal is automatically installed on already registered computers through Intune. I have disabled the registration of personal computers, but if necessary, I can temporarily unblock it. If I’m not mistaken, manually installing the portal on a computer outside Intune required the user to have administrator rights to log in, right? Also, didn’t this procedure cause some bugs for users in the past?
