We all need a common interface to manage our mobile devices, company servers and computers. Since System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1, it has been possible to manage different devices such as Android, Windows Phone 8, iOS and Windows RT by integrating Configuration Manager and Windows Intune. This has since been updated and modified with the introduction of System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. In today’s post, I’ll outline the easy steps in configuring Windows Intune for SCCM 2012 R2.

How to configure Windows Intune for SCCM 2012 R2

1. In the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console, select ‘Administration’ and expand ‘Cloud Services.’ Select ‘Windows Intune Subscriptions’ from the options available.
2. In the ribbon, click on ‘Add Windows Intune Subscription.’ Once clicked, the ‘Create Windows Intune Subscription Wizard’ will appear
3. Click on ‘Next’ and on the next screen, click on the ‘Sign In’ button.
4. The ‘Set the Mobile Device Management Authority’ window will appear. Click ‘OK.’
5. You’ll then see the login page. Fill in your details and click on ‘Sign In.’
6. Click on ‘Next’ and the ‘General Configuration’ screen will appear.
   


7. Click on ‘Browse’ and select ‘Windows Intune Users Collection.’ Fill in the fields for the company name and the URL to company privacy documentation then select the color scheme for the company portal and the site code used for device management.
8. Once completed, the ‘Platforms’ support screen will appear. Select the device types you need to include (Android, iOS, Windows or Windows Phone 8). Click ‘Next.’
9. Fill in the company contact information and add your company logo.
10. Click ‘Finish.’

Your mobile devices are now configured for SCCM 2012 R2! In my next post, I’ll further explain how to configure the Windows Intune Connector role, so stay tuned.
