Intune Enrollment Via BigFix for Personal Windows Devices

This service is in a pilot. 

  • Please note: This page is intended for Entra ID/Intune pilot participants only.
  • What’s next: A phased rollout is tentatively scheduled for late 2026/early 2027. More details will be announced soon through University IT news.

This enrollment option will only display on personally-owned devices that are eligible for this enrollment method.

This guide explains the process of enrolling your personally-owned Windows device into Microsoft Intune using the Stanford enrollment app deployed via BigFix. 

Prerequisite: Set up Authenticator

You'll need to set up your new Microsoft login using the Authenticator app on your mobile phone. This is a required first step. If you haven't already done so, follow the setup instructions for iOS or Android.

Before you begin

  • Backup your data: No issues are expected, but it's always a good idea to back up important data.
  • Network connection: A reliable Wi-Fi network or wired connection will help ensure your enrollment goes smoothly.
  • Save your work: Please ensure all your work is saved and applications are closed before starting the process.
