Microsoft Intune is a powerful tool for improving security and productivity for your business—but if you're wondering how to set up Intune and the rest of the solutions included with Microsoft 365, you're not alone. With so many valuable features, it can be hard to know where to start. We asked some of our Microsoft Intune Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) to explain what most companies (or their managed service providers) should do to optimize their setup to help prevent cyberattacks and keep data safe while letting users work from the places and devices they prefer.
These MVPs came back with a series of "how-to" videos designed to explain the process of setting up your Microsoft 365 account—also called a "tenant"—in simple terms. We recommend you use a second monitor so you can follow the guidance and set up your own tenant in real time.
There are already more videos in production to help you realize the benefits of your Microsoft 365 license, so subscribe to this blog to be notified when we post these videos and other helpful content. Be sure to bookmark the YouTube playlist, too, at aka.ms/AchieveWithIntune.
What you'll learn from each video
We developed this video series based on a document created by our colleagues: "Enhancing Security with Microsoft 365 Business: A Hands-on, Effective Guide" Each video should be watched in order. However, if you're already set up and want to dig into a specific topic, we've broken them out below for easier access.
01- Before You Begin: Get started with "paper and pencil" planning.
02a - Identity Protection Part 1: Make sure you can't accidentally lock yourself out of your tenant.
02b - Identity Protection Part 2: Help ensure that only the right people, using the right devices, can access your files.
03 - Email and App Protection: Help prevent your email accounts from being hijacked to send spam.
04 -Endpoint Enrollment: Gain control over company-owned laptops, tablets, or phones. Or, let your team members use their own devices while you control the data.
05 - Endpoint Protection: Make it harder for attackers to harm your company.
Even more guidance
If you can't wait to dive deeper into Intune capabilities, we have interactive click-through guides to help you deploy apps, configure Windows Autopilot, apply updates to Windows, and more at aka.ms/AchieveWithIntuneMore.
We'll continue to develop helpful instructions, and we want to hear your feedback. Are these guides helpful? What topics do you want to see next? How can we make it easier for you to feel confident in your setup? Let us know in the comments below.
