Onboarding Devices
Hello,
I have a question regarding our Business Premium license. I connected three test devices to Intune, but since these users use BYOD (Windows 11 Home), I did not connect them to Azure AD.
I am unsure why these devices are not onboarding, while only my cellphone has successfully onboarded after I installed Defender directly.
If the problem is a Business Premium license, what is the best solution to manage users in Defender?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello Yousef,
Onboarding Windows home is not supported. The devices need to be running at least Windows 10 Pro. See here for more information Minimum requirements for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint..
I think you must have devices joined to Azure AD for onboarding automatically in Defender for Endpoind.
Could you also test onboarding Manually with script.
Thank you so much
so, in this case, BYOD, without joining them to Azure AD, can not become onboard devices?
i think also there is a problem with Windows Home, which doesn't have an option to join users Via Azure AD
Hi Yousef
You can role out Defender using the manual onboarding script to the BYOD devices running Windows Home.if you wish for BYOD devices to join via AAD they need to be at least Windows 10/11 pro.

Thank you so much
and last question
Is the Business Premium license enough for onboarding the devices?
Hi Yousef
Microsoft 365 Business Premium license is sufficient for onboarding.
