Enrolling your Windows (Education, Enterprise, Pro) device (MDM)

Enroll your Windows (Education, Enterprise, Pro) device in the IBM® MaaS360® Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) tool.

Prerequisites
  • Microsoft Windows requires that the user account enrolled in MDM has local admin rights on the Windows machine.
  • Enable the Laptop and Desktop Management setting in the IBM MaaS360 Portal at Setup > Services.
  • Enroll devices to IBM MaaS360 Portal after receiving the MaaS360 enrollment request URL notification that is sent by email or text message from an administrator. For more information, see Adding devices in the MaaS360 Portal.

Browser-based enrollment

To enroll your Windows (Education, Enterprise, Professional) device from a web browser, follow the steps.
  1. Open Microsoft Edge (you must use Edge, not Internet Explorer) and go to MaaS360 enrollment request URL (https://m.dm/corporateID or https://m.dm/coporateID/<randomnumber>).
  2. Click Windows - Pro, Education & Enterprise). (If you are not sure what type of Windows device that you are enrolling, click Find out your device's Windows edition tab to view steps on how to determine the type of Windows device that you are enrolling or go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System, and then locate the View basic information about your computer section. That section lists the edition of your Windows device.)
  3. Accept the prompts to open the new app (Microsoft Accounts).

PC-based enrollment

To enroll your Windows (Education, Enterprise, Professional) device from a Windows PC, follow the steps.
  1. From the Windows PC, go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Connect to work or school > Connect.

    The initial screen prompts for an email address, but might warn that the email address cannot be found. (This message is not an enrollment failure, but a result of the auto-discovery function.)

    A new screen is displayed that prompts for the email address again. This screen adds a field for the MDM URL.

  2. Enter the same email address that you initially used and the full enrollment URL (include https://).
  3. On the MaaS360 Authentication screen, enter your corporate credentials or the one-time passcode that was sent in the enrollment invitation.
  4. Accept the MaaS360 Terms and Conditions and, if applicable, the organizational EULA.

    The Windows PC completes the configuration and enrolls the device. If device enrollment is successful, the You're all set message is displayed.
