Reenrol devices without wipe

29. January 202429. January 2024 jannikreinhard3 Comments

Enrolled Intune devices occasionally face trust issues due to MDM or Microsoft Azure certificate problems, among other factors. While wiping and re-enrolling is a standard fix, it’s straightforward for regular devices, with minimal data loss thanks to services like OneDrive. However, this process is more complex for specialized field devices, particularly those with custom configurations and vendor-installed software, especially if the vendor not longer exists. Creative strategies are essential in these cases. This blog post delves into an experimental approach to seamlessly bring such devices back under management.

How to skip the ESP for a single app installation

2. October 20222. October 2022 jannikreinhard1 Comment

Unfortunately, there is no setting in Intune with which you can determine whether an app should be installed during ESP (Enrollment Status Page) or only after ESP. Of course, it is a huge advantage to install as many apps as possible during the ESP or even better during the white glove phase so that you have a ready to use device after enrollment. But there are cases where it can make sense to install an app after the ESP, for example if the installation routine requires an interaction. How you can skip the installation of an app in the ESP I will explain now.

Remove the primary user from Intune devices with powershell (Switch to shared device)

9. October 202128. December 2023 jannikreinhard11 Comments

If an Intune device is not enrolled as a shared device or kiosk device, it always has a primary user. This creates a relation between the device and the user. This user is also used to license the device. This user only has the possibility to see this device in the company portal / company portal website and trigger certain self service actions. Also, while troubleshooting, an Intune admin can select this user in the Troubleshooting + support menu in Intune and directly see their devices.

The primary user is automatically added after the the enrollment of an intune managed device. It is possible to change the user to an other or remove this user to switch the device into a shared device.
