The ability to manage devices remotely makes Intune essential for the IT department that is looking for low-touch, high-efficiency Windows 11 management. Many schools need partners to assist in deployment. As a deployment partner, you’re key to Microsoft 365 setup/configuration and device enrollment. This module teaches education partners how to set up and configure policies and applications for Intune for Education. This module is part of the Partner Success Series.

Before distributing devices to your users, you must ensure that the devices are with the required policies, settings, and applications as they get enrolled in Intune.
