Microsoft InTune
Overview
- Overview
-
Microsoft Intune for Education is a cloud-based device and application management service for school-owned Windows and Apple devices. It provides a streamlined education portal for enrolling devices, applying settings, distributing applications, protecting district information, and checking whether devices comply with security requirements.
The service uses the broader Microsoft Intune platform underneath its school-focused interface and works naturally with Microsoft 365 Education, Microsoft Entra identity, and Windows deployment services. Districts can use the simpler education workflows for routine administration while retaining access to more advanced Intune capabilities when needed.
