Intune Enrollment for Windows 10 Azure VM|Azure AD

NOTE! – I recommend going through the post “How To Take RDP Of Azure AD Joined Azure VM Using Bastion” before trying this option on your Windows 10 Azure VM.

How do I fix the
“your organization does not support this version of Windows” error?
The windows version is 21H1. Which should be no issue.
The edition is Windows 10 Enterprise, which also should not be any issue.
I’m already able to logon with my work account to the device (because in creating the VM, I selected to connect to organization)
Yet software will not be loaded or installed…
StaffThis could be because of Enrollment restriction policies See https://www.anoopcnair.com/block-personal-windows-devices/
Can we do Autopilot and OOBE on Azure VM ?
StaffHi Prajwal, If your goal is to have Azure-based VM’s be part of your Autopilot, there might be other settings you have to make to make the VMs more immutable.
Hi Jitesh
I am planning to setup azure vms with Autopilot, Are you able to share docs or other settings to make vms immutable ?
Thanks
Hi Jithesh,
