Windows device enrollment workflow

As more employees work remotely, organizations have experienced an increase in Windows Home edition use for the enterprise. In addition to supporting Windows (Education, Enterprise, Professional) devices in the MaaS360® Portal, MaaS360 now allows administrators to also enroll, manage, and support software distribution and OS patch management to Windows Home devices.

MaaS360 adds a new Windows device enrollment workflow that allows device users the option to enroll Windows Home devices or Windows (Education, Enterprise, Professional) devices into the MaaS360 Portal in MDM mode, which uses modern management capabilities built on the Windows MDM APIs. User can enroll devices into the MaaS360 Portal after receiving the MaaS360 enrollment request URL notification that is sent by email or text message from an administrator.

The following steps explain the Windows device enrollment workflow for device users.
  1. Log in to the IBM® MaaS360 Portal and create an enrollment request.
  2. Click the enrollment URL to open the request from a browser.
    1. For Windows OS earlier than version 10, the DTM enrollment landing page is displayed.
    2. For the Edge browser, select Windows (Education, Enterprise, Professional) or Windows (Home).
      Note: For any browser other than Edge, the Edge browser is required to access the enrollment link.
  3. The relative enrollment landing pages are displayed and the MDM enrollment process begins.
