What is Microsoft Endpoint Manager?
Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) is a cloud-based solution that is designed to address the challenges associated with deploying, managing and securing devices in the enterprise. This includes servers, PCs and mobile devices. IT administrators are also able to create policies for personal devices being used to access an organization's applications and data.
How does MEM work?
In recent years, device management has become far more challenging and time consuming. Whereas users once worked primarily from tightly managed, domain-joined desktops, today's users tend to work from multiple devices of varying types. MEM is designed to couple modern device management capabilities with existing legacy solutions, namely Configuration Manager. In doing so, there are several ways in which MEM helps administrators, including the following:
Microsoft 365 endpoint Manager helps with the provisioning of new devices. When a team member acquires a new PC, Autopilot can install Windows onto that device, perform an initial configuration, and then enroll the device into Intune. Hence MEM automates this once manual process, saving the IT staff a considerable amount of time.
MEM assists users who want to use personally owned devices for work. A user can access a self-service portal to enroll their device into Intune. MEM can then verify that the device adheres to the organization's compliance requirements. At that point, the user can begin using the device. This automated enrollment process provides a better overall user experience. This can ultimately lead to increased productivity because the user does not have to wait for the IT department to approve and provision their device.
MEM helps organizations manage devices once they have been enrolled. MEM can be used to detect and automatically deploy missing security updates. Likewise, admins can create security policies that are automatically applied to devices to ensure that those devices remain configured in a secure manner. For example, a policy could be used to ensure that mobile devices are configured to require a password protected lock screen. Also, a policy could be created that requires the firewall to be enabled on Windows devices. If a device is found to be out of compliance, MEM can sometimes perform automatic remediation, depending on the nature of the issue.
