How to configure Outlook on IOS & Android using Intune (Manual)

If you deployed Intune to your mobile devices, you want to enforce the use of the Outlook app on the mobile device. We want to make the end user experience as smooth as possible and preconfigure Outlook for the. How can we prepare the Outlook app with your company email settings? With just a few steps, we can get this setup!

Step 1: From the Azure Portal go to Intune –> Clients Apps –> App configuration policies and click Add

Step 2: Give the configuration policy a name and description. Select Device Enrollment type, my preferred method is to use Managed apps, because this will deploy the policy to both enrolled and unenrolled devices. Select the Outlook apps on Associated app, and go to Configuration settings.

Create a drive mapping using Intune on Azure AD joined devices (Manual)

With the transition to Azure AD, you might want to connect your AAD joined devices to the traditional file server as explained in this article: Go Azure AD Joined with on-prem DC and fileserver The next step is to map some network drives with Intune!

Step 1: The first step is to create a PowerShell script that will do the actual drive mappings. This script will be placed on a Azure Blob storage (or your internal domain) where you will be able to manage and maintain the script. This script will be run using a second script that we will deploy with Intune. For your convenience I’ve already prepared the script:

Autopilot with white glove deployment

Microsoft has released an updated autopilot version called white glove! With the traditional autopilot version there was one big disadvantage on delivering a laptop directly from the OEM to the end user, and that was the waiting time for the end user to complete the installation of all applications, settings and policies.

OEM — The original Autopilot deployment (Source: docs.microsoft.com)

With the next release the provisioning will be split. The time consuming part can now be performed by the IT department, IT Partner or even the OEM provider. Giving the end user a short and simple process before they can start using their device.

OEM — *The new white glove Autopilot deployment (Source: docs.microsoft.com)*

But with new features there are always new requirements. With the new white glove autopilot it is still possible to use both the Azure AD join and the Hybrid Azure AD join scenarios. However these are the new requirements:

Windows 10 version 1903 is required
An Intune subscription (customer)
Physical devices with a TPM 2.0 chip (Virtual machines are not supported!)
Physical devices with Ethernet connectivity, Wi-fi is not supported.

Because the OEM or vendor performs the white glove process, this doesn’t require access to an end-user’s on-premise domain infrastructure. This is unlike a typical hybrid Azure AD-joined scenario because rebooting the device is postponed. The device is resealed prior to the time when connectivity to a domain controller is expected, and the domain network is contacted when the device is unboxed on-premise by the end-user.
