Intune Setup Instructions & How-Tos is part of the Instructions for Jannik Reinhard Blog Readers collection and explains reusable Microsoft Intune, Azure, and endpoint-management setup steps for the technical blog guides.
Use the instructions page as a reference while reading the more detailed blog posts. When a post links back here, complete only the prerequisite section that matches the task and then return to the original article. This keeps the main guide focused while still giving you enough setup detail to reproduce the solution reliably.
If a screenshot or menu name has changed, follow the concept rather than the exact visual position. Microsoft regularly updates the Intune admin center, Azure portal, and Microsoft Graph experience, but the underlying setup pattern usually stays the same: create the prerequisite, confirm permissions, validate the result, and then continue with the automation or deployment scenario.
How to use these instructions is the practical navigation layer for the whole page. Start with the section that matches the prerequisite mentioned in the article you are reading, complete the baseline configuration, and then return to the original guide once the shared setup is in place.
These instructions are intentionally reusable. They are not meant to replace the deeper blog posts, but to provide the common Intune, Azure, and AI setup steps that appear again and again. That makes the instructions useful for new readers, lab builders, and administrators who want to recreate a solution without guessing which prerequisite was assumed.
If you use this page as part of a production rollout, treat it as a starting checklist rather than a change-management process. Validate naming, permissions, licensing, and security controls against your own tenant standards before applying the linked Intune or Azure examples broadly.
How To Use These Instructions
This page is written for IT administrators spinning up demo tenants, lab environments, or building the tools referenced throughout my blog posts. Rather than repeating baseline setup steps in every article, the common configurations are gathered here. When a post mentions deploying a Log Analytics workspace or packaging a Win32 app for Intune, jump to the matching section, complete the prerequisite, and return to the original post for the scenario-specific work.
Prerequisites
Most walkthroughs assume an admin workstation with the following tools installed and authenticated against your tenant:
- PowerShell 7+ – the cross-platform shell used for nearly all scripts. See Install PowerShell.
- Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK – required for Intune, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 automation. Install with
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser. Reference: Microsoft Graph PowerShell. - Azure CLI – for Azure resource deployments. See Install the Azure CLI.
- An account with sufficient permissions in the target tenant or subscription (Global Admin, Intune Admin, Owner, or Contributor depending on the task).
Versioning Note
Screenshots and click paths reflect Microsoft’s admin portals as of recent months. Microsoft updates the Intune admin center, Azure portal, and Entra portal frequently, so individual buttons or blade names may have moved by the time you read this. If a step looks different in your tenant, fall back to the official Microsoft Learn documentation for the canonical, version-current procedure – the underlying concepts rarely change, even when the UI does.
