Intune Architecture Flow
1. Optimize & Expand Your Environment
- Use Entra ID dynamic groups
- Support iOS, Android, macOS, Linux
- Enable Conditional Access
- Use Windows Autopilot
2. Windows Autopilot Deployment
Run this PowerShell:
Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile Autopilot.csv
- Create deployment profile in Intune
- Assign to dynamic group
- User signs in → device auto-configures
Device setup becomes fully automatic
3. Application Management
- Required Apps: VPN, Office, Security tools
- Optional Apps: Company Portal
- Use App Protection for BYOD devices
Do not deploy too many apps at once
4. Policy Enhancement
- Define compliance (OS, BitLocker, Antivirus)
- Use Settings Catalog
- Apply Security Baselines
5. Update & Patch Management
- Create Update Rings
- Control reboot policies
- Monitor patch compliance
Goal: Keep systems updated within 14 days
6. Security & Access Control

- Use Multi-Factor Authentication
- Integrate Microsoft Defender
Strong identity + device security = Zero Trust
7. Monitoring & Health

8. Documentation & Training

- Collect user feedback
“Intune is a continuous process, not a one-time setup”
