Register devices in AAD and MDM

4 min

The documentation provided below, can be given to your employees with little or no modifications. Once the device user completes the registration process, both the user and the device are registered and you can track compliance.

These steps can change without notice. Contact Microsoft for the most up-to-date instructions.

The registration step to tracking compliance is for the device user to configure Azure Active Directory (AAD) registration on the enterprise-owned device. Use the following scenarios to register the devices in AAD and MDM:

OOBE sign up for AAD enrollment (first time set up)

Post OOBE sign up for AAD enrollment (enterprise-owned not OOBE)

Workplace sign up for AAD enrollment (employee-owned not OOBE)

OOBE sign up for AAD enrollment

When a device is registered for the first time, the user will answer a few questions about the device. The AAD registration begins here.

Procedure

Indicate who owns the device by making one of the following selections:

My organization

I own it

Select Next.

Select Join Azure AD > Next.

Enter your enterprise user name and password.

Use the same credentials you use to log into your enterprise’s Office 365. Contact your administrator, if you cannot sign in for any reason.

Select Sign In to connect to both Azure and the Ivanti EPMM.

Read the MDM terms and conditions.

Select Accept to complete registration into Azure and MDM.

Microsoft requires pin registration for all AAD devices.

Enter a PIN and select OK.

In addition to the Set up a Pin screen, some users will be asked to verify that they are the correct user. This verification screen does not appear for all users. The User and device is now registered and can be used both by Azure and MDM. Compliance can now be tracked.
