Enrolling a Mac computer in Microsoft Intune allows you to manage and secure the device as part of your organisation’s mobile device management (MDM) strategy. To enrol a Mac in Intune, you’ll need administrative access to your Intune console and the Mac you want to enrol. Here are the general steps to enrol a Mac in Intune:
- Prerequisites:
