Five questions to answer before your Intune pilot
Make the pilot small enough to learn from, with clear tests for enrollment, apps, policies, and recovery.
Who should be in the pilot?
Choose people who represent real workflows and hardware, including someone who works remotely. Record which devices and accounts are in scope and how to bring a device back to its previous state.
What does a working device look like?
Write down the apps, access, and configuration that a participant needs to do their job. Give each requirement a simple test that someone other than the person who configured Intune can run.
What existing settings might carry over?
Identify existing management tools, policies, and scripts. Record which tool owns each setting during the pilot so you can diagnose conflicts.
Who handles a failed enrollment?
Agree on who investigates issues, how users report them, and what information to capture. Rehearse a recovery path before enrolling someone’s primary device.
What earns a wider rollout?
Decide in advance how you’ll review enrollment results, user feedback, and open issues. Leave time to adjust and rerun the pilot before expanding it.
