  • To change de MDM authority, follow the steps below:

    Click on the url below :
    https://intune.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_Intune_Enrollment/ChooseMDMAuthorityBlade

    In the page, select “Intune MDM Authority” and save the configuration.

    Verify the MDM Authority :
    Intune Admin Center, clic on Tenant Management > Tenant Details”.

      What is the path for reaching to that URL? Pasting it directly on the browser works fine, but I couldn't locate how to get there from the Intune Admin Center, checked pretty much everywhere and don't know how to reach the Choose MDM Authority screen.

        saulov8- there is no way to locate it. This is typical Microsoft, sadly. Unless you know it exists, you have no hope.

    I can't believe it's 2024 and I still had this problem and lost days to trying to figure out what in the world was going on and why my devices were not enrolling properly and failing to pull down profiles. Why do we have to login to a settings page for educational institutions as an enterprise to be able to change the MDM authority?

  • Maybe using a powershell script to change it ?


    Connect-MSGraph
    $mdmAuth = (Invoke-MSGraphRequest -Url "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/organization('$OrgId')?`$select=mobiledevicemanagementauthority" -HttpMethod Get -ErrorAction Stop).mobileDeviceManagementAuthority

    # Intune Instellen als MDM Authority

    if($mdmAuth -notlike "intune")
    {
    $OrgID = (Invoke-MSGraphRequest -Url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/organization" -HttpMethod Get -ErrorAction Stop).value.id
    Invoke-MSGraphRequest -Url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/organization/$OrgID/setMobileDeviceManagementAuthority" -HttpMethod Post -ErrorAction Stop
    }

    as mentioned in this blog

    Yeah, here is the same issue!
    Want to change for Intune management, but can't find any way.
    Also, i want to change the default Windows Hello policy, but "save" button is greyed out

      Found a way to do it!
      See the threat bellow
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/57463/set-up-mdm-authority-to-intune.html

      There is a reply down that says:
      "Been struggling to find the same and managed to get switched to Intune using this workaround:

      https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Intune_Edu/TenantSettingsMenuBlade/TenantDeviceEnrollmentSetupBlade"

      Basic, it's open de the intune for school. And then asks to change the authoroty to Intune.
      Back to enterprise intune you see the MDM has changed.
