Intune π οΈ
Welcome to device management heaven (or at least, the closest thing to it) π―β
If you're managing devices for multiple clients, you know that Intune is where the rubber meets the road. This is where you actually configure all those devices, make sure they're compliant, and keep them from turning into digital dumpster fires π₯.
This section contains all the Intune policies, profiles, and configurations that make up your Golden Master β the stuff that keeps your endpoints secure, your users productive, and your sanity (mostly) intact.
Why Intune matters for MSPs πΌβ
Let's be real: managing devices across multiple tenants without a solid Intune blueprint is like trying to herd cats... blindfolded... while those cats are on fire π±βπ₯.
With a proper Intune setup, you get:
- β Consistent security baselines across all clients
- π Zero-touch deployment with Autopilot
- π Compliance monitoring so you actually know what's going on
- π Controlled Windows updates (because surprise updates are the worst)
- βοΈ Standardized app configurations for Edge, OneDrive, Teams, and more
And when you deploy this using SuperVision or similar tools? Chef's kiss π¨βπ³π. You can roll out changes across all your tenants and actually maintain control instead of playing whack-a-mole with configuration drift.
What you'll find here πβ
This isn't just a dump of policies. Each section includes:
π Autopilot Deployment Profilesβ
Zero-touch device enrollment that makes unboxing new devices actually feel magical instead of painful. Different profiles for different scenarios β user-driven, self-deploying, and variants with local admin rights (because sometimes you need that escape hatch).
π Compliance Policiesβ
The rules that keep your devices from going rogue. BitLocker? Check. Secure Boot? Check. Actual up-to-date OS versions? Check. Plus custom scripts to detect things like RMM tools that shouldn't be there.
βοΈ Configuration Profilesβ
This is the big one. All the settings that make Windows devices behave the way they should:
- Security π - Screen lock timers, SSPR on lockscreen, enrollment controls
- OneDrive βοΈ - Block personal accounts, configure sync settings, handle multi-tenant scenarios
- Edge π - Security hardening, update control, user experience tweaks
- Teams π¬ - Control multi-tenant sign-in (super important for MSPs!)
- User Experience β¨ - Disable the junk (Xbox services, news widgets, AI nonsense)
- Updates & Reporting π‘ - Delivery optimization, configuration refresh
π Windows Update Ringsβ
Control how and when Windows updates roll out. Because pushing Feature Updates to everyone at once is a great way to ruin your week π . We've got rings for:
- π Fast (Early Access) - For your brave test users
- π§ͺ Pre-Release (Acceptance) - For validation before the big rollout
- π’ Semi-Annual (Production) - For everyone else, when you know it's safe
Platform coverage π±π»β
Right now, this section is heavily Windows-focused πͺ (because let's be honest, that's where most MSP work lives). But we're expanding to cover:
- π macOS & iOS/iPadOS - Coming soonβ’
- π€ Android - Also on the roadmap
Using this with SuperVision π§©β
If you're deploying this via SuperVision, you'll notice we use Tags throughout the documentation to help you customize deployments per client. Not every client needs the exact same config, and Tags let you handle those variations without maintaining completely separate blueprints.
Pro tip: Start with the baseline, then use exception groups and Tags for client-specific tweaks. Don't reinvent the wheel for every tenant π.
A word about those emojis... πβ
Yeah, we use emojis in policy names. A lot. It's not just because they're fun (though they are). It's because when you're staring at a list of 50 policies at 2 AM trying to find the right OneDrive config, visual cues save your brain π§ .
Check out the Naming Conventions page to understand the emoji system. Once you get it, you'll never want to go back to boring text-only names.
Before you deploy anything... β οΈβ
Remember: this is a blueprint, not a "click deploy and pray" solution.
- π§ͺ Test first - Use a dev tenant or test group
- π Read the docs - Each policy has notes about what it does and why
- π― Customize wisely - Not every setting fits every client
- π Monitor after deployment - Make sure things work as expected
And as always: you're the one pressing the buttons. Use your judgment. If something breaks, well... that's what backups are for π.
