Ever felt like your organization’s devices are running wild like untamed horses across the digital plains?

You’re not alone.

I’ve spent years wrangling endpoints from rogue laptops to mysteriously configured tablets that somehow ended up in the company network (looking at you, Dave from Accounting).

After implementing Intune for organizations ranging from 50 to 5,000 devices, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about technical configurations, it’s about understanding the human side of device management.

This guide combines technical steps with real-world insights to help you avoid the pitfalls I’ve already tumbled into.

By the time we’re done, you’ll have:

Created logical device groups that make sense for your organization

Configured autoenrollment so devices join your management environment seamlessly

Established policies and profiles that balance security with usability

Added applications your users actually need

Set up enrollment for Apple, Windows, and Android devices
