Microsoft Endpoint Manager referred to the products and services that focused on endpoint management. This family of products and services is now called Microsoft Intune.
36
+
Microsoft Intune is a family of products and services. It combines services you may know and already be using, including Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager, co-management, Endpoint Analytics, and Windows Autopilot. These services are part of the Microsoft 365 stack to help secure access, protect data, and respond to & manage risk.

42
+
You can also think of Intune in three parts: cloud, on-premises, and cloud + on-premises:
43
+
44
+
-**Cloud**: All data is stored in Azure. And, no more data centers. This approach gives you the mobility benefits of the cloud, and the security benefits of Azure.
45
+
46
+
-**On-premises**: If you have an on-premises infrastructure that includes Configuration Manager and Windows Server, or aren't ready to use the cloud, then keep your existing systems.
47
+
48
+
-**Cloud + on-premises**: Many environments are mixed, and use a cloud-attach approach. Meaning, they use a combination of cloud and on-premises. For new devices, use the benefits of Intune to access and protect data. If you use Configuration Manager, connect to the cloud for more functionality and analytics. If you want to move some workloads to the cloud, then co-management is a good option.

Windows Autopilot is a cloud-based service that sets up and pre-configures new devices, getting them ready for use. It can also reset and repurpose existing devices. It's designed to simplify the lifecycle of Windows devices from initial deployment through end of life, benefitting IT and end users.
103
+
104
+
Use Windows Autopilot to pre-configure devices, automatically join devices to Azure AD, automatically enroll the devices in Intune, customize the out of box experience (OOBE), and more. You can also integrate Windows Autopilot with Configuration Manager and co-management for more device configurations.

## Azure Active Directory (AD)
96
114
97
-
Azure AD is used for identity of devices, users, groups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). **Azure AD Premium**, which may be an additional cost, has [additional features](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/active-directory/) to help protect devices, apps, and data, including dynamic groups, auto-enrollment, and conditional access.

Azure AD is a cloud-based service that's used by Intune to manage the identities of users, devices, and groups. The Intune policies you create are assigned to these users, devices, and groups. When devices are enrolled in Intune, your users sign in to their devices with their Azure AD accounts (`[email protected]`).
102

109
-
For example:
110
-
111
-
- If you constantly provision new devices, then use Windows Autopilot.
112
-
- If you add rules and control settings for your users, apps, and devices, then use Intune.
113
-
- If you currently use Configuration Manager to deploy apps, and want to use conditional access based on security requirements, then use co-management.
114
-
- If you currently use Configuration Manager and are responsible for keeping Windows 10/11 devices up-to-date, then use Endpoint Analytics.
115
-
- If you're getting started with MDM and MAM, or use ADMX templates to control Office, Microsoft Edge, and Windows settings, then use Intune.
