Hello,
im setting up Device enrollment.
My tenant MDM authority was: Unknown

I tried to follow link set-mdm-authority .. but there was no "Orange label" banner at all.
I was messing around, tried to find a solution. Accidently i activated "Basic security and mobility" and now my Tenant MDM authority is set to "Microsoft Office 365".

How to revert this back? Or better, how to change it to Intune? Documentation is obsolete (its pointing to azure portal, when Intune settings was moved to endpoint.microsoft.com ...).

I have no enrolled device yet.

Regards...

    Basically, the MDM authority is automatically set to Intune for the newest tenant service release. Please click this link for more details. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/mdm-authority-set

    If the MDM authority is unknow, please make sure you have purchased the Intune license.

    Besides, even you have activated Basic Mobility and Security for Office 365, you still can use Intune, which can coexist with Basic Mobility and Security.

    Hi - This is answered at below linked page:

    Symptom:

    • You need to set Intune as the MDM authority because Intune currently shows the MDM Authority as either Office 365 or None
