While it isn't universally the best option, the most common enrollment method that IT will need to know is enrollment via a companion app. That method is tailored to BYOD, but Mac administrators can also use it for corporate-owned devices when there is no ABM available. In either case, the device is, by default, registered as a personal device in Microsoft Intune. Desktop admins can manually adjust this if needed. IT can perform the task of Mac enrollment using the Company Portal app through the following steps:
1. Open a browser and navigate to Microsoft's site to download the Company Portal installer file under the Install Company Portal app.
2. After it's downloaded, open the installer and follow the prompts to ensure proper installation.
3. Once the installation is successful, open the Company Portal app and sign in with a work or school account.
4. Once signed in with the Company Portal app open, click Begin to start the enrollment process.
5. On the Review privacy information page, verify the information that the organization can see and click Continue (Figure 1).
6. On the Install management profile page, perform the following actions:
Click on Download profile to download the management profile (Figure 2).
On the Manage Profile settings page, click Install to install the management profile.
On the verification dialog box, click Install to install the management profile.
On the credentials dialog box, provide administrator credentials to start the enrollment.
7. On the Check device settings page, verify the enrollment and compliance status of the device and click Done.
Once the enrollment of the Mac device is complete, IT can navigate to the location System Preferences > Profiles > Management Profile to verify the level of control that the IT administrators have over the device.
