Intune iPad device groups

[steveg]

We're moving to intune from Airwatch for our iPad management, the main reason being cost.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating device groups for different trolleys of iPads we have and the best way of getting iPads into these groups? Or do I not need to bother and can I just assign everything to the user, it seems to work in quite a different way to Airwatch.

 

I have an enrollment profile setup and got it pushing out the Company Portal app so a user can enroll. In Airwatch as part of the enrollment they would be added to their device group, which I would then assign apps to with device deployment, I can see in Azure I can create dynamic groups, but not sure what I could then use to identify which group that iPad should go to?

 

Hopefully this sort of makes sense!

Couple of ways:

 

1) Create the group and then manually assign the members (device members)

 

2) Create multiple MDM Servers in ASM/Intune with different profile names. Then assign the iPad to the correct MDM. Use Dynamic group to assign members based on enrolment profile name.

 

I do option 2.

 

Not sure where users would come into it if these are shared iPads. I do everything at device level

Thanks, that makes sense, think I will go for option 2, most are 1:1 iPads but this makes the most sense.
