The university offers an automated Intune enrollment process for eligible Stanford-owned Windows devices.

Then connect your device to one of the following Stanford networks for at least one hour and your device will enroll in Intune automatically:
- On campus: Stanford network
- Off campus: Cisco Secure Client VPN for Windows
Step-by-step instructions
After setting up your new Microsoft login, wait 24 hours for the systems to update. Then proceed through these steps:
- Connect your device to the Stanford network by choosing one of the following options:
- On campus: Connect directly to the Stanford network directly
- Off campus: Connect using Cisco Secure Client VPN for Windows to su-vpn.stanford.edu
- Remain connected to the Stanford network or VPN for at least one hour. You must stay connected so your device can receive the necessary enrollment configuration.
- Once you have stayed connected for at least one hour, restart your computer to complete the enrollment process.
- On your next login, you may be prompted to set up Windows Hello. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete this setup.
Important: If you were prompted to set up Windows Hello during this step and you are not connected to a campus network, you may see a "Your credentials could not be verified" error on your next sign-in. Review the How to Resolve "Your Credentials Could Not Be Verified" Error guide so you are prepared if this occurs.
