Custom Terms and Conditions

This week I’m back in ConfigMgr and I’m back with custom Terms and Conditions. A few months ago I did my latest post about custom Terms and Conditions. That post was completely focused on Microsoft Intune standalone. Starting with ConfigMgr 1511 it’s now also possible to deploy custom Terms and Conditions through Microsoft Intune hybrid. Custom Terms and Conditions can be deployed to end-users to explain how device enrollment, access to work resources, and using the Company Portal affects them and their devices. End-users must accept the custom Terms and Conditions before they can use the Company Portal to enroll and access their company data. In this post I’ll show how to create, deploy, update and monitor custom Terms and Conditions in Microsoft Intune hybrid. …

Multiple custom terms and conditions for device enrollment and company access

And we’re back in the Company Portal app. Not just because I think that the Company Portal app is awesome, but also because there’s a new Company Portal app related capability added, during the August 2015 update, to Microsoft Intune. That new capability is that it’s now possible to deploy multiple custom Terms and Conditions for enrollment and company access. A while ago I did a blog post about Custom terms and conditions for using the Company Portal of Microsoft Intune and this post will be an updated version of that post. However, this post will not go into as much detail about the use of different versions, of a single custom Terms and Conditions, as that part is still applicable in the same manner. …
