How to mark a device ownership as "corporate" AUTOMATICALLY when new device enrolls in InTune or DEP
Hi Ambarish,
Thanks for your response,
As I explained above, manual enrollment is not my concern. I ve been switching devices' ownership from personal to corporate manually once they show up there.
I want to configure it in a way that it happens automatically the way it was explained in Microsoft document - specially with the new coming devices:
Intune automatically assigns corporate-owned status to devices that are:
Enrolled with a device enrollment manager account (all platforms)
Enrolled with the Apple Device Enrollment Program, Apple School Manager, or
Apple Configurator (iOS only)
they explained it is happening but it does not.
Ali Fadavinia I understand your concern. My point was to check manually ["Enter Manually"] adding a device (not by using the csv upload) and see if the device shows up as corporate, just to rule out that if there is anything to do with the csv upload method.
Also noticed the below on the official documentation:
Some Android and iOS/iPadOS devices have multiple IMEI numbers. Intune only reads one IMEI number per enrolled device. If you import an IMEI number but it is not the IMEI inventoried by Intune, the device is classified as a personal device instead of a corporate-owned device. If you import multiple IMEI numbers for a device, uninventoried numbers display Unknown for enrollment status.
Also note: Serial Numbers are the recommended form of identification for iOS/iPadOSOS devices.
ambarishrh Thanks for your response and time.
Here is a very recent DEPped one just for today. The ownership is Personal.We only use single IMEI for each device.
Ali Fadavinia What is the process of the registration and enrollment?
Because you guys talk about uploading IMEI numbers, but the supplier of the Iphone needs to register devices in Apple Business Manager (by serialnr). No need for you to upload imei numbers in the Intune portal.
In short;
The supplier does the registration in Apple BM. In ABM you need to make sure ABM is connected to Intune and here you assign the devices to your MDM Server.
In Intune you need to have an enrollment profile in-place and make sure the profile is assigned to the device.
For a good overview have a look at Robin his article https://www.robinhobo.com/how-to-configure-apple-dep-within-microsoft-intune-and-migrate-existing-dep-devices-from-another-mdm-solution-to-microsoft-intune/PKlapwijk We do not upload the IMEI numbers,
We Dep the device through ourselves directly or our vendors do that. We also use ABM.
Later on, user uses a VPP Intune Company Portal App ( which is pushed into the mobiles).
Some devices' ownership are marked and shown "Corporate" but a few appeared as "Personal".
