Microsoft Intune Initial Setup for iOS Devices — Apple Device Management & Security

Microsoft Intune Initial Setup for iOS Devices includes planning and configuring Microsoft Intune to manage Apple devices that access corporate data. The engagement covers deployment goals, use cases and requirements, rollout and communication planning, Intune domain, users and groups configuration, license assignment, resource profiles, configuration policies, compliance policies, conditional access policies, user self-setup reference material, and one month of post-implementation break-fix support.

The service is structured as a 10-day project. During that time, IT Partner runs kickoff and planning activities, configures the Microsoft Intune environment, performs test implementation, validates the setup, completes production implementation, and fixes issues identified during verification.

The listed price for Microsoft Intune Initial Setup for iOS Devices is $2,500 per project. The service SKU is ITPWW530IMPOT, and any changes to scope or requirements should be confirmed with IT Partner before purchase.

This service is intended to configure Microsoft Intune so an organization can manage planned Apple desktop and mobile devices. The stated device compliance prerequisites are Apple iOS 15.0 and later, Apple iPadOS 15.0 and later, and macOS 11.0 and later.

Although the service title refers to iOS devices, the stated scope includes Apple desktop and mobile devices. That means the implementation can include supported iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices, provided the required subscriptions, platform prerequisites, and enrollment requirements are met.

The client must have an Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) or Microsoft Intune subscription. A Microsoft 365 subscription is also required for Office apps and app protection policy managed apps, and license assignment is included as part of the implementation activities.

Yes, an Apple APNs Certificate is a prerequisite because it enables iOS device platform management in Microsoft Intune. The service scope includes Intune configuration, but the client should be prepared to provide or support the required Apple certificate setup as part of the engagement.

The project starts with a kickoff meeting, followed by determining deployment goals, objectives, challenges, and use-case requirements. IT Partner then develops the rollout and communication plan, designs and configures the Intune environment, performs test implementation, completes testing and validation, moves to production implementation, and verifies or fixes issues if any are found.

IT Partner configures the Intune domain, users, and groups, completes license assignment, and sets up resource profiles, configuration policies, compliance policies, and conditional access policies. The goal is to provide an Intune environment that allows administrators to see and manage connected Apple devices and allows users or administrators to add new devices for management.

The client is responsible for coordinating internal resources and schedules, assigning a dedicated point of contact, coordinating outside vendors if needed, and participating in project discussions. The client must also provide the information required to implement the solution, ensure users self-enroll corporate mobile devices, and review and approve deliverables in a timely manner.

Yes, the stated client responsibility is that users must self-enroll their corporate mobile devices, and users can also self-enroll their own mobile devices. IT Partner provides user reference material for self-setup, but hands-on user training is not included in this service.

No, user training is specifically listed as not included. The service does include user reference material on self-setup of devices, so users receive guidance material but not a formal training program.

No, application deployment through Microsoft Intune is not included in this service. The engagement focuses on Intune initial setup, policies, device enrollment readiness, and administrator visibility for managed Apple devices.

No, device data protection configuration is listed as not included. The project includes configuration policies, compliance policies, and conditional access policies, but any additional device data protection design or implementation should be confirmed separately with IT Partner.

No, device management after service implementation is not included in the stated scope. The service includes one month of post-implementation break-fix support, but ongoing administration and device management remain outside the included deliverables unless separately arranged.

After completion, the intended outcome is that Microsoft Intune is configured to manage the planned Apple devices and that the administrator can see and manage devices added during implementation. The service also includes one month of post-implementation break-fix support for issues related to the implementation.

Success is measured by whether Microsoft Intune services are configured properly to manage Apple desktop and mobile devices. Additional success criteria include planned devices being successfully connected, the Intune administrator being able to see and manage those devices, and users and administrators being able to add new devices for management.

The service description does not specify a planned downtime window. Because the engagement includes rollout planning, testing, validation, and production implementation, any user impact from enrollment or conditional access policy enforcement should be reviewed and confirmed with IT Partner during planning.

A MacBook may be required to enroll a corporate device. This is listed as a note and limitation, so the exact need should be confirmed with IT Partner based on the organization’s device types and enrollment scenario.

The listed manager for the service is Roman Sotnik. The service is identified as SKU ITPWW530IMPOT and is categorized for Office 365 and Microsoft 365 under Security and Protection.
