Enroll Windows Phone 8 Devices in Windows Intune Direct Management

1. Before users enroll their devices in Windows Intune direct management, make sure that you complete the following steps:

   1. Provision users in Windows Intune. The process of provisioning defines device owners as managed users in Windows Intune. To provision users, you need to add users to the Windows Intune account portal. After provisioning is complete, users appear and can be managed in the Windows Intune administrator console. For information about how to provision users in Windows Intune, see the “Adding Users and Security Groups” section in the Windows Intune Getting Started Guide.
      
      
   2. Set up Windows Intune Direct Management for Windows Phone 8 Mobile Devices.
      
      
   3. Set up application distribution so that users can access and install available applications on the devices that they have enrolled in Windows Intune. For information about how to set up application distribution, see Adding and Deploying Software.
      
      

2. Send a notification email to inform users that they can connect their devices to Windows Intune, so that they can access and install available applications and perform other tasks.

   Important
   If you did not configure DNS settings to enable automatic detection of a Windows Intune enrollment server, in your notification email, you must provide users with the following server enrollment server address: enterpriseenrollment-s.manage.microsoft.com. Users must enter this address when they are prompted to connect to Windows Intune and begin the enrollment process.

3. To enroll their devices, users need to complete the steps that are described in the “To enroll a Windows Phone 8 device” section of the Enrolling Your Devices topic. As part of the enrollment process, they must enter their Windows Intune user ID. Or, if Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 is deployed in your environment, they can specify their existing on-premises Active Directory credentials. For information, see Prepare for Single Sign-On.

   During enrollment, the Windows Intune service checks to confirm that:

   • The account for your organization is active.
     
     
   • The user is provisioned in Windows Intune.
     
     
   • The user has not exceeded the maximum allowed number of devices per user. Each user who is provisioned in Windows Intune can enroll a maximum of five devices.
     
     

4. The names of the devices that users enroll should appear in the Windows Intune administrator console within a few hours of enrollment.
