In this post, I will show you how to automatically enroll Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs in Intune. Windows 365 Business makes it easy to provision Cloud PCs by simply assigning a license to a user, but getting those Cloud PCs into Microsoft Intune requires a couple of specific tenant settings. If you configure it correctly, every new Windows 365 Business Cloud PC is automatically enrolled into Intune at first setup.
There are multiple ways to enable the automatic enrollment of Windows 365 Cloud PCs. You can either use windows365.microsoft.com or admin.microsoft.com (Microsoft 365 admin center) and simply enable a checkbox, Enroll new Cloud PCs in Microsoft Intune. That’s it; I will show you the steps to find these options and how to enable it. If the Cloud PC is not enrolled in Intune, you will typically see a message: Looking to enroll Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs in Intune. For more details, refer to the link: Admins deploying apps to Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs | Microsoft Learn.
An important point to note is that custom images and provisioning policies are not available in the Windows 365 Business plan, even though the devices are enrolled in Intune. For the differences between Windows 365 Enterprise and Windows 365 Business, refer to the following link: Windows 365 Setup Guide [Step-by-Step].
