Get started: Deploy and manage a full cloud IT solution for your business

Applies to:

• Windows 10

Important

This is placeholder content only. Everything is TBD.

In this walkthrough, we'll show you how to deploy and manage a full cloud IT solution for your small to medium business using Microsoft Azure AD, Intune, Office 365, and Windows. We'll show you the basics on how to:

• Acquire an Office 365 business domain
• Add Microsoft Intune and Azure Active Directory (AD) Premium licenses to your business tenant
• Set up Windows Store for Business and manage app deployment and sync with Intune
• Add users and groups in Azure AD and Intune
• Create policies and app deployment rules
• Log in as a user and start using the device

Go to the Microsoft Business site and select Products to learn more about pricing and purchasing options for businesses.

1. Get ready

Here's a few things to keep in mind before you get started:

• You'll need a registered domain to successfully go through the walkthrough.
  • If you already own a domain, you can add this during the Office 365 setup.
  • If you don't already own a domain, you'll have the option to purchase a domain from the Office 365 admin center. We'll show how to do this as part of the walkthrough.
• You'll need an email address to create your Office 365 tenant.

2. Set up your cloud infrastructure

To set up a cloud infrastructure for your organization, follow the steps in this section.

2.1 Set up Office 365 for business

See Set up Office 365 for business to learn more about the setup steps for businesses and nonprofits who have Office 365. You can watch video and learn how to:

• Plan your setup
• Create Office 365 accounts and how to add your domain.
• Install Office

To set up your Office 365 business tenant, see Get Started with Office 365 for business.

If this is the first time you're setting this up, and you'd like to see how it's done, you can follow these steps to get started:

1. Go to the Office 365 page in the Microsoft Business site. Select Try now to use the Office 365 Business Premium Trial or select Buy now to sign up for Office 365 Business Premium. In this walkthrough, we'll select Try now.

Figure 1 - Try or buy Office 365

2. Fill out the sign up form and provide information about you and your company.
3. Create a user ID and password to use to sign into your account. This step creates an onmicrosoft.com email address. You can use this email address to sign in to the various admin centers. Save your sign-in info so you can use it to sign into https://portal.office.com (the admin portal).
4. Select Create my account and then enter the phone number you used in step 2 to verify your identity. You'll be asked to enter your verification code.
5. Select You're ready to go... which will take you to the Office 365 portal.

Note

In the Office 365 portal, icons that are greyed out are still installing.

Figure 2 - Office 365 portal

6. Select the Admin tile to go to the Office 365 admin center.
7. In the admin center, click Next to see the highlights and welcome info for the admin center. When you're done, click Go to setup to complete the Office 365 setup.

This may take up to a half hour to complete.

Figure 3 - Office 365 admin center

8. Go back to the Office 365 admin center to add or buy a domain.
9. Select the Domains option.

**Figure 4** - Option to add or buy a domain

![Add or buy a domain in O365 admin center](images/office365_buy_domain.png)

2. In the Home > Domains page, you will see the Microsoft-provided domain, such as fabrikamdesign.onmicrosoft.com.

**Figure 5** - Microsoft-provided domain

![Microsoft provided domain](images/office365_ms_provided_domain.png)

- If you already have a domain, select **+ Add domain** to add your existing domain. If you select this option, you'll be required to verify that you own the domain. Follow the steps in the wizard to verify your domain.
- If you don't already own a domain, select **+ Buy domain**. If you're using a trial plan, you'll be required to upgrade your trial plan in order to buy a domain. Choose the subscription plan to use for your business and provide the details to complete your order.

Once you've added your domain, you'll see it listed in addition to the Microsoft-provided onmicrosoft.com domain.

2.2 Add users and assign product licenses

Once you've set up Office and added your domain, it's time to add users so they have access to Office 365. People in your organization need an account before they can sign in and access Office 365. The easiest way to add users is to add them one at a time in the Office 365 admin center.

When adding users, you can also assign admin privileges to certain users in your team. You'll also want to assign Product licenses to each user so that subscriptions can be assigned to the person.

To add users and assign product licenses

1. In the Office 365 admin center, select Users > Active users.

Figure 7 - Add users

2. In the Home > Active users page, add users individually or in bulk.

• To add users one at a time, select + Add a user.

  If you select this option, you'll see the New user screen and you can add details about the new user including their name, user name, role, and so on. You also have the opportunity to assign Product licenses. For detailed step-by-step info on adding a user account, see Add a user account in the Office 365 admin center in Add users individually or in bulk to Office 365 - Admin Help.

  Figure 8 - Add an individual user

  

• To add multiple users at once, select More and then choose + Import multiple users. If you select this option, you'll need to create and upload a CSV file containing the list of users.

  The Import multiple users screen includes a link where you can learn more about importing multiple users and also links for downloading a sample CSV file (one with headers only and another with headers and sample user information). For detailed step-by-step info on adding multiple users to Office 365, see Add several users at the same time to Office 365 - Admin Help. Once you've added all the users, don't forget to assign Product licenses to the new users.

  Figure 9 - Import multiple users

  

3. Verify that all the users you added appear in the list of Active users. The Status should indicate the product licenses that were assigned to them.

Figure 10 - List of active users

2.3 Add Azure AD to your domain

Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy, and manage apps across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters. In this walkthrough, we won't be using the full power of Azure and we'll primarily use it to create groups that we then use for provisioning through Intune.

To add Azure AD to your domain

1. In the Office 365 admin center, select Admin centers > Azure AD.

Note

You will need Azure AD Premium to configure automatic MDM enrollment with Intune.

2. If you have not signed up for Azure AD before, you will see the following message. To proceed with the rest of the walkthrough, you need to activate an Azure subscription.

Figure 11 - Access to Azure AD is not available

3. From the error message, select the country/region for your business. This should match with the location you specified when you signed up for Office 365.
4. Click Azure subscription. This will take you to a free trial sign up screen.

Figure 12 - Sign up for Microsoft Azure

5. In the Free trial sign up screen, fill in the required information and then click Sign up.
6. After you sign up, you should see the message that your subscription is ready. Click Start managing my service.

Figure 13 - Start managing your Azure subscription

This will take you to the Microsoft Azure portal.

2.4 Add groups in Azure AD

To add Azure AD group(s), we will use the classic Azure portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com). See Managing groups in Azure Active Directory for more information about managing groups.

You can use the group(s) you add in Azure AD as the group you use for provisioning settings or apps through Intune.

To add groups in Azure AD

1. If this is the first time you're setting up your directory, when you navigate to the Azure Active Directory node in the classic Azure portal, you will see a screen informing you that your directory is ready for use.

Afterwards, you should see a list of active directories. In the following example, Fabrikam Design is the active directory.

Figure 14 - Azure first sign-in screen

2. Select the directory (such as Fabrikam Design) to go to the directory's home page.

Figure 15 - Directory home page

3. From the menu options on top, select Groups.

Figure 16 - Azure AD groups

4. Select Add a group (from the top) or Add group at the bottom.
5. In the Add Group window, add a name, group type, and description for the group and click the checkmark to save your changes. The new group will appear on the groups list.

Figure 17 - Newly added group in Azure AD

6. In the Groups tab, select the arrow next to the group (such as All users), add members to the group, and then save your changes.

The members that were added to the group will appear on the list.

Figure 18 - Members in the new group

7. Repeat steps 2-6 to add other groups. You can add groups based on their roles in your company, based on the apps that each group can use, and so on.

2.5 Configure automatic MDM enrollment with Intune

Now that you have Azure AD Premium and have it properly configured, you can configure automatic MDM enrollment with Intune, which allows users to enroll their Windows devices into Intune management, join their devices directly to Azure AD, and get access to Office 365 resources after sign in.

You can read this blog post to learn how you can combine login, Azure AD Join, and Intune MDM enrollment into an easy step so that you can bring your devices into a managed state that complies with the policies for your organization. We will use this blog post as our guide for this part of the walkthrough.

Important

We will use the classic Azure portal instead of the new portal to configure automatic MDM enrollment with Intune.

To enable automatic MDM enrollment

1. In to the classic Azure portal, click on your company's Azure Active Directory to go back to the main window. Select Applications from the list of directory menu options.

The list of applications for your company will appear. Microsoft Intune will be one of the applications on the list.

Figure 19 - List of applications for your company

2. Select Microsoft Intune to configure the application.
3. In the Microsoft Intune configuration page, click Configure to start automatic MDM enrollment configuration with Intune.

Figure 20 - Configure Microsoft Intune in Azure

4. In the Microsoft Intune configuration page:

• In the Properties section, you should see a list of URLs for MDM discovery, MDM terms of use, and MDM compliance.

  Note

  The URLs are automatically configured for your Azure AD tenant so you don't need to change them.

• In the Manage devices for these users section, you can specify which users' devices should be managed by Intune.

  • All will enable all users' Windows 10 devices to be managed by Intune.
  • Groups let you select whether only users that belong to a specific group will have their devices managed by Intune.

  Note

  In this step, choose the group that contains all the users in your organization as members. This is the All group.

5. After you've chosen how to manage devices for users, select Save to enable automatic MDM enrollment with Intune.

6. Verify that the app shows up on the device. You can check which users and devices have the app installed by selecting the app and checking the status in the General tab or selecting the Devices or Users tab.

4. Manage device settings and features

You can use Microsoft Intune admin settings and policies to manage features on your organization's mobile devices and computers. For more info, see Manage settings and features on your devices with Microsoft Intune policies.

In this walkthrough, we'll show you how to add a new policy that will disable the camera for the Intune-managed devices and turn off Windows Hello and PINs during setup.

To disable the camera

1. In the Intune admin console, choose Policy > Configuration Policies > Add.
2. On the Create a New Policy page, select Windows > General Configuration (Windows 10 Desktop and Mobile and later).
3. Click Create Policy.
4. On the Create Policy page, select Device Capabilities.
5. In the General section, add a name and description for this policy. For example:

• Description: Disables the camera

6. In the Hardware section, configure Allow camera and choose No from the dropdown list.
7. Click Save Policy.
8. On the Deploy Policy dialog box, select Yes to deploy the policy now.
9. On the Management Deployment dialog box, select the user group(s) or device group(s) that you want to apply the policy to. For example, select All Students.
10. Click OK.

To turn off Windows Hello and PINs during device setup

1. In the Intune admin console, select Admin.
2. Navigate to Mobile Device Management > Windows > Windows Hello for Business.
3. In the Windows Hello for Business page, select Disable Windows Hello for Business on enrolled devices.
4. Click Save.

Note

This policy is a tenant-wide Intune setting. It disables Windows Hello and required PINs during setup for all enrolled devices in a tenant.

5. Add more devices and users

After your cloud infrastructure is set up and you have a device management strategy in place, you may need to add more devices or users and you want the same policies to apply to these new devices and users. In this section, we'll show you how to do this.

5.1 Connect other devices to your cloud infrastructure

Adding a new device to your cloud-based tenant is easy. For new devices, you can follow the steps in 3. Set up devices. For other devices, such as those personally-owned by teachers who need to connect to the school network to access work or school resources (BYOD), you can follow the steps in this section to get these devices connected.

Note

These steps enable users to get access to the organization's resources, but it also gives the organization some control over the device.

To connect a device to your work or school

1. On your Windows device, go to Settings > Accounts.
2. Select Work access and then click Add a work or school account to add an Azure AD account to the device.
3. Enter the work credentials for the account to authenticate the user.
4. If it appears, accept the MDM terms prescribed by the organization to allow the device to be managed. Once this is done, the device should be registered in Azure AD and enrolled in MDM and the account should have access to the organization's resources.

5.2 Add a new user

You can add new users to your tenant simply by adding them to the Office 365 groups. Adding new users to Office 365 groups automatically adds them to the corresponding groups in Microsoft Intune.

See Add users to Office 365 to learn more. Once you're done adding new users, go to the Intune admin portal and verify that the same users were added to the Intune groups as well.
