Intune Management Services & Autopilot Deployment
A laptop that shows up at a new hire's house, gets signed into, and configures itself in twenty minutes is not a luxury feature. It is what Intune and Autopilot do when someone has set them up properly. NetSys delivers Intune management services for businesses that want every device enrolled, encrypted, patched and provable to an insurer, without an engineer touching each machine by hand.
The short answer
Intune management services cover the setup and ongoing operation of Microsoft Intune, the device management platform included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium and enterprise plans. Managed well, Intune enrolls every Windows, Mac, iOS and Android device the company owns, applies configuration and compliance policies, and reports compliance to Entra ID conditional access so a device that falls out of line loses access to company data until it is fixed. Windows Autopilot adds zero-touch provisioning: a new laptop ships from the vendor, the user signs in, and it builds itself to the company standard. NetSys designs the policies, runs the enrollment, manages Intune afterward, and handles BYOD through app protection rather than full enrollment of personal phones.
Most tenants we inherit have Intune switched on and half used. A few devices are enrolled, a compliance policy exists that nobody enforces, and new laptops are still set up by hand with a checklist that lives in someone's head. The license is being paid for, and the protection it was meant to deliver is not there.
We treat Intune as the system of record for devices. Policies are written down, tested on a pilot group, then applied to everyone. Autopilot profiles mean a laptop can be shipped straight from the supplier to a new hire in Suffolk County or Fairfield County and arrive ready. Ongoing, our help desk handles the exceptions, and the monthly report shows which devices are compliant and why any are not.
Pilot First, Then Enforce
Enforcing compliance on day one locks out the CEO's laptop and ends the project. We start with an inventory of what exists, build the baseline policies in audit mode so we can see what would fail, and fix those devices before enforcement begins. Autopilot is set up with your hardware vendor so device hashes are registered at purchase. Conditional access is tightened last, once the compliance numbers are clean. Each step has a rollback, and users are told what changes before it changes.
What Intune Management Services Cover
Enrollment & Configuration
One standard, applied by policy rather than by hand.
- Enrollment of company-owned Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices into Intune
- Configuration profiles for encryption, firewall, password rules, Wi-Fi and VPN settings
- Application deployment and updates for Microsoft 365 apps and line-of-business software
- Windows Update rings so patches roll out to a pilot group before the whole company
Compliance & Conditional Access
A device that is not healthy does not get in.
- Compliance policies that check encryption, OS version, screen lock and Defender status
- Conditional access rules in Entra ID that require a compliant device for company data
- Grace periods and user notifications so people fix problems instead of getting locked out
- Evidence reports for cyber-insurance questionnaires and compliance reviews
Windows Autopilot
New laptops ship direct and build themselves.
- Autopilot profiles for user-driven and self-deploying scenarios
- Hardware hash registration arranged with your supplier at the time of purchase
- Enrollment Status Page so the device is fully configured before the desktop appears
- Reset and reassignment of returned devices without a rebuild by hand
BYOD & Mobile
Company data protected on personal phones, personal data left alone.
- App protection policies that secure Outlook, Teams and OneDrive on unmanaged phones
- Selective wipe that removes company data only when someone leaves
- Written BYOD policy for staff, aligned with what the technical controls enforce
- Full enrollment reserved for company-owned mobile devices where it is warranted

Intune & Autopilot Deployment FAQs
What is Intune management and what does it include?
Intune management is the design and day-to-day operation of Microsoft Intune, which controls the configuration, security state and applications of company devices from the cloud. It includes enrolling devices, writing and enforcing compliance policies, deploying applications and updates, connecting compliance results to conditional access, and handling the exceptions that appear every week. NetSys provides it as part of a managed agreement, so the engineers who manage Intune also answer the help desk when a policy affects someone.
Do we need Intune if we already have mobile device management?
If your MDM is Intune, the question is whether it is fully used. If it is a separate product, consolidating into Intune usually makes sense for a Microsoft 365 business because the license is already paid for and the compliance signal feeds directly into Entra ID conditional access. A separate MDM cannot do that as cleanly. We assess what your current tool enforces, and we migrate device by device rather than in one cutover.
How does Windows Autopilot work for a small business?
Your hardware supplier registers each new device's hardware hash to your tenant at purchase. When the laptop first connects to the internet and the user signs in with their work account, Autopilot joins it to Entra ID, enrolls it in Intune, and applies the policies and applications assigned to that person. The device can ship straight from the supplier to the employee. Our post on Windows Autopilot for small business walks through the setup decisions.
Can Intune manage personal phones without seeing personal data?
Yes, through app protection policies rather than full enrollment. The company controls the Outlook, Teams and OneDrive apps on the phone, requiring a PIN, blocking copy-and-paste into personal apps, and allowing a selective wipe of company data only. Photos, messages and personal apps are never visible to IT. This is the model we recommend for BYOD, backed by a written policy staff sign.
How long does an Intune deployment take?
A tenant with clean identities and under a hundred devices is usually piloted and enforced within a few weeks. The timeline is set by cleanup: devices running unsupported Windows versions, users with local admin rights, and old group policy settings that have to be translated. We give a written schedule after the assessment, with enforcement dates agreed in advance so nobody is surprised.
Is Intune management services pricing per device or per user?
NetSys does not price Intune separately. It is part of the all-inclusive managed agreement, which is billed month to month with no long-term contract. Microsoft's licensing for Intune is per user through Microsoft 365 Business Premium or an enterprise plan, and we review those licenses with you so the plan matches what is in use.
