I have a post in which I’m talking about the SCCM co-management lab. You can click on that lab and search with Intune you will get an option to set up AM in tune lab. In that lab there are instructions which you need to follow to learn Intune infra setup.

The prerequisite for the lab is get a trial version of Microsoft 365. I have explained how to get a Microsoft 365 subscription for free for 30 days. So, this lab would be a good starting point for you.

You can get the trial subscription and you can follow through the instructions in the lab. Download Microsoft EM+S (Microsoft 365) step by step setup guide from here. This will cover the trial version options.

Intune Enrollment options for SCCM Admins

There is no need of that because Intune tightly integrated with Azure Active Directory.

Intune Enrollment Restriction Rules for SCCM Admins

Enrollment restriction are another configuration which is available in Intune. I don’t see this kind of similar configuration available in SCCM.

So you can restrict a particular device based on the OS and based on the enrollment method which each which you use within your organization. Intune infra setup is explained in the above video.

For example, if you want to restrict BYOD devices from enrolling into Intune, then you can do that for Windows, iOS, and Android. The only company owned devices can be enrolled into Intune.
