Block personally-owned devices

by

My last blog post just before a short vacation, is about using the differentiation between corporate-owned devices and personally-owned devices. The best scenario for this differentiation is preventing the MDM enrollment of personally-owned devices. In that scenario it’s still possible to use MAM-WE with personally-owned devices, as only the MDM enrollment will be blocked.

It’s also a much easier solution, for a scripted solution that I created more than year ago, for automagically setting the mobile Device Owner to Company. In this blog post I’ll provide some information about this feature, I’ll show the configuration of this feature and I’ll show the administrator experience of this feature. Please note that this functionality is only available for Microsoft Intune hybrid.
