Planning for and Managing Devices in the Enterprise: Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) and On-Premises Tools — Lesson 2: Intune, Configuration Manager, Enrollment and Application Management

Learning Objectives

• Configure Intune and Configuration Manager for device enrollment, inventory, configuration profiles, updates, applications, and policies
• Manage corporate and personal devices, Windows provisioning, mobile platforms, application deployment, and operational exceptions
• Validate intune, configuration manager, enrollment and application management decisions with documented requirements, evidence, risk controls, and measurable acceptance criteria

Detailed Topics

• Configure Intune and Configuration Manager for device enrollment: Configure Intune and Configuration Manager for device enrollment, inventory, configuration profiles, updates, applications, and policies
• Manage corporate and personal devices: Manage corporate and personal devices, Windows provisioning, mobile platforms, application deployment, and operational exceptions
• Validate intune: Validate intune, configuration manager, enrollment and application management decisions with documented requirements, evidence, risk controls, and measurable acceptance criteria

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, development, analysis, administration, testing, or operational workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, test results, and other useful evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and explain any corrective action.

Hands-On Activity

Complete a guided implementation scenario and preserve evidence of settings, outputs, and exceptions.

• Document assumptions, prerequisites, and the planned sequence before starting.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal, boundary, and failure behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, reusable notes, and the next improvement priority.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the business or technical decision that must be made.
• Compare valid implementation approaches and their trade-offs.
• Consider security, privacy, accessibility, performance, support, and operational impact.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, data, permissions, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, ownership, user impact, and business continuity.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected design or configuration is documented and follows approved standards.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, accessibility, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Intune, Configuration Manager, Enrollment and Application Management in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
