Device management without Azure AD credentials in intune

Hello Everyone 

Thank you for reading this and taking the time out to reply 

 

 

We have to give Windows devices to some customer -who is not part of the organization but we buy and handover the device to them - now we want to manage those devices with Intune 

 

is it possible - our only requirement is that all device should have 3 local account (2 admin and 1 standard ) 

- how can I register device without AD account and manage it ?

 

thank you

  • Precisely, the device must be joined/registered for that... But is having three local accounts the only thing you need? You can use scripting to create those so the accounts are there when you need them for support.

    You must link/register/join a device to manage it with Intune. If they need access to a device for Office or other applications, could you consider giving them a Windows 365 Cloud PC? (And manage that with Intune)

      Thnak you so much
      -yes we need three accounts Locally and other thing is we need to track these devices ( like when its last logged in, and if there is a way so apply some basic policies on those

      Is it possible to make "Device Enrollment Manager" and register the device with Intune with Device Manager Credentials?

      - if we do that can we create policies we need and apply to those devices ?



      Thank you

        You can use that to enroll the devices into your tenant and Entra ID. But if you only use local accounts for the users, it will only do device configuration things and not user things... Tracking users won't be possible with local users...
  • Azure ad credentials (registered/joined) are pretty much required to manage a device with Intune. if the device is not joined/registered you cant enroll it to intune

      Thank you so much Sir,

       

      We just want to track this device when it last logged in and all basics - 

       

      Is it possible to make "Device Enrollment Manager" and just register the device with Intune with Device Manager Credentials?

      - if we do that can we create policies we need and apply to those devices ?

       

      Thank you
