Microsoft Intune integration: deployment and automation in a modern infrastructure

In an increasingly mobile and hybrid world, endpoint management is becoming a crucial issue for businesses. Microsoft Intune, a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution, enables you to secure, configure and automate the lifecycle of devices, whether Windows, macOS, iOS or Android.

Background to Microsoft Intune integration

Our customer, a multi-site company with over 2,000 employees, wanted to modernize its desktop management by integrating Intune into its existing infrastructure, while automating deployment and configuration processes.

Challenges for the IT Department

Identity and access management (IAM)
Data security and RGPD compliance
Streamlining and automating the device lifecycle
Reduce TCO and improve user experience

Problems encountered before integrating Intune

Manual and heterogeneous management of user workstations
No MDM solution for mobile devices
Slow, non-standardized application deployment
Need to comply with internal security policies and RGPD
Migration of obsolete Windows 10 workstations

Our approach to deploying Microsoft Intune

We have deployed a 5-stage strategy:

‍1. Assessment of existing environment

Analysis of AD infrastructure, SCCM, Azure AD or third-party environment
Identification of terminal types and business uses
Definition of user profiles and application requirements
Endpoint typology: inventory of OS, models, uses, BYOD/COPE devices

2. Integrating Intune with Entra

Configure automatic device registration
- AutoEnrollment via Entra and GPO
Setting up co-management with SCCM for a gradual transition :
- Workload switching (compliance, apps, updates)
Synchronizing groups and policies
- Using Entra dynamic groups to assign profiles and applications

3. Automated workstation deployment

Create configuration profiles (Wi-Fi, VPN, security)
Automated deployment via Windows Autopilot :
- Provisioning Zero-Touch
- OOBE configuration
- Automatic assignment of deployment profiles
Dynamic allocation of applications to Azure AD groups :
- Win32/MSIX packaging, conditional deployment according to groups and compliance status

4. Terminal security and compliance

Application of security policies :
- MFA, encryption, antivirus, Conditional Access, BitLocker/FileVault encryption, certificate management
Patch and update management :
- Windows Update for Business, compliance reporting, management via Intune and Defender for Endpoint
Monitoring via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint :
- Defender XDR integration, alerting, response automation (SOAR)

5. Training and change management

Training sessions for IT and support teams
Documentation of automated procedures
Setting up a Power BI management dashboard
Monitoring ITSM KPIs
