macOS management with Microsoft Intune | Deployment, single sign-on, settings, apps & DDM

Microsoft Intune now has built-in native controls so you can manage your Macs similar to how you manage Windows PCs across the device lifecycle, without third party integrations or extensions. This decreases complexity and overhead and increases security, to help achieve your Zero Trust goals. Jeremy Chapman, Director of Microsoft 365, walks through the highlights:

• Automated device enrollment 
• Microsoft Entra ID based single sign-on experience
• Extended configuration management controls 
• Support for common DMG and PKG app package types 
• Declarative Device Management (DDM) for updates
• Upcoming capabilities like Remote Help for macOS within the Intune Suite
