Personal lab: Microsoft Intune and Entra ID
Device joinJoined a Windows 11 virtual machine to Microsoft Entra ID and enrolled it in Intune. Traced join error 801c03ed to two device settings tightened three days earlier, fixed them, and the join went through.2026
Windows AutopilotImported the machine's hardware hash, then built a user-driven deployment profile and the dynamic group that assigns it. The deployment ran end to end and the device renamed itself to the naming template.2026
BitLockerDrove encryption to completion, with the 48-digit recovery password escrowed to the device's Microsoft Entra ID record.2026
Device recoveryA wipe and a snapshot rollback left a machine that believed it was enrolled while Intune had no record of it. Brought it back through Autopilot, whose registration survives a wipe.2026
