What this engagement is
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service for managing corporate devices, including desktop and mobile devices. It helps organizations enforce security policies, manage applications, monitor device compliance, enforce encryption on mobile devices, ensure that only approved applications are installed, and help prevent unauthorized access to corporate data. In this initial setup service, IT Partner guides the organization through the Intune deployment process, from planning the architecture and design to connecting devices. The source also mentions ongoing support, but it does not define support duration, channels, response times, SLAs, or post-project terms; those support terms should be confirmed by IT Partner. The source states that Intune can manage devices across Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS; however, the listed success criteria for this service specifically reference Windows device management. Service details: SKU ITPWW310IMPOT, price $2,950, duration 2 weeks, manager Roman Sotnik.

Success criteria
What you receive
How the work unfolds
Confirm business goals, Windows device management requirements, target users and device groups, planned device count, licensing, administrative access, tenant readiness, and acceptance criteria for the 2-week initial setup.
Review or configure core Microsoft Intune settings needed for Windows management, including MDM authority, enrollment settings, device groups, administrator access model, and baseline enrollment approach for the planned devices.
Configure a conservative initial set of Windows management policies appropriate for first deployment, such as compliance policy, device configuration profile, endpoint security baseline settings where applicable, encryption-related settings where licensed and supported, and enrollment behavior.
Enroll the agreed planned Windows devices or pilot group into Intune, verify that devices appear in the Intune admin center, confirm policy assignment and reporting, and resolve common enrollment issues within the fixed-scope engagement.
Walk client administrators through device visibility, compliance status, basic device actions, user and administrator device onboarding, and the process for adding additional devices after the initial setup.
Review success criteria, document key configuration choices at a practical handover level, capture open items or recommended next steps, and provide setup-related support during the engagement. Longer-term managed support, SLA-based support, and expanded rollout are handled separately unless agreed in writing.

The service is intended to guide the organization through Intune planning, design, deployment, setup, and device connection based on the stated service scope.
How long does the Microsoft Intune initial setup take?
The stated duration for Microsoft Intune - Initial Setup is 2 weeks. The AI-drafted standard plan assumes kickoff, tenant readiness, Windows policy configuration, planned device enrollment, validation, and administrator handover during that period.
How much does the Microsoft Intune - Initial Setup service cost?
The listed price for Microsoft Intune - Initial Setup is $2,950. The service SKU is ITPWW310IMPOT. Microsoft licensing, expanded rollout, non-Windows platform setup, and advanced endpoint security work are not included unless separately agreed.
Which devices are covered by this Intune setup service?
The success criteria specifically reference Windows device management and successful connection of planned devices. The AI-drafted standard scope treats this as an initial planned Windows device set or pilot group, with the exact device count and list confirmed at kickoff.
Does this service include mobile device management for iOS and Android?
Microsoft Intune can manage iOS and Android devices, but the stated success criteria for this service focus on Windows device management. The AI-drafted standard scope excludes iOS, iPadOS, Android, and macOS configuration unless those platforms are explicitly added.
Does the service connect all devices or only selected devices?
The source description mentions connecting all devices, while the success criteria refer to successful connection of planned devices. For a conservative fixed-scope interpretation, this service covers the planned Windows devices or pilot group agreed during kickoff rather than an unlimited organization-wide rollout, unless IT Partner confirms a broader scope in writing.
What are the expected deliverables at the end of the engagement?
At completion, Microsoft Intune services should be configured for Windows device management, planned devices should be connected to Intune, administrators should have visibility and management of connected devices, and users and administrators should be able to add new devices. These deliverables align with the stated success criteria for the service.
What happens during the Microsoft Intune setup engagement?
The AI-drafted standard implementation sequence includes kickoff and readiness review, Intune tenant and enrollment foundation, Windows management policy configuration, planned device enrollment and validation, administrator handover, and closeout with setup-related support.
What prerequisites are required before starting the Intune setup?
Standard prerequisites include appropriate Microsoft Intune licensing, Microsoft Entra ID tenant readiness, administrator access, a defined list of planned Windows devices and users, supported Windows versions, internet connectivity to Microsoft cloud services, and a client technical contact for decisions and validation.
What responsibilities does IT Partner handle in this service?
IT Partner guides the organization through deployment planning, configures core Intune settings for initial Windows device management, assists with planned device enrollment and validation, provides an administrator walkthrough, and supports setup-related troubleshooting during the 2-week engagement. The source also mentions ongoing support, but exact support terms should be confirmed by IT Partner.
What responsibilities does the client have during the engagement?
The client provides licensing, administrator access, target device and user information, test device availability, timely policy decisions, disclosure of existing management tools and policies, user coordination, and validation/sign-off against the agreed success criteria.
Is Microsoft Intune licensing included in the $2,950 price?
The $2,950 price is for the setup service. Microsoft Intune, Microsoft 365, Windows, Entra ID, Defender, and other licensing costs are not included unless separately agreed.
Will this service create security and compliance policies in Intune?
Within a conservative initial Windows setup scope, the AI-drafted standard plan includes baseline Windows compliance and device configuration policies appropriate for initial Intune management. Advanced security architecture, Zero Trust design, Defender tuning, DLP, and complex compliance programs are separate scope.
Does the service include application deployment through Intune?
Application management is a Microsoft Intune capability, but this fixed-scope initial setup does not include application packaging, Win32 app deployment, application modernization, or software deployment campaigns unless separately agreed.
Will users be able to enroll or add new devices after the setup is complete?
Yes. One stated success criterion is the ability for users and administrators to add new devices. IT Partner should provide a practical administrator walkthrough for the agreed enrollment approach.
Will administrators be able to see and manage devices in Intune after setup?
Yes. Administrative visibility and management of connected devices is a stated success criterion and deliverable of the service. Administrators should be able to view and manage connected planned devices in Microsoft Intune after setup.
Will the Intune setup cause downtime or disrupt users?
The source does not define downtime. In typical Intune initial setup, user impact depends on enrollment method and policies applied. Users may need to sign in, enroll a device, restart, or wait for policy synchronization. Any significant user-impacting changes should be communicated and approved before deployment.
What support is included after the initial Intune setup?
The source mentions ongoing support but does not define support duration, channels, response times, SLAs, or whether support continues after the 2-week implementation. For the AI-drafted standard fixed scope, support means setup-related assistance during the 2-week engagement and handover. SLA-backed support, continuous administration, helpdesk services, or long-term managed Intune operations should be covered by a separate support agreement unless IT Partner states otherwise.
