Questions and answers
- What does Apple device management include?
Mobile device management enrolls the whole device and manages its settings, security and apps. Company devices receive automated enrollment, application deployment, compliance policies and disk encryption.
- Can Macs and iPhones be managed from the same console as Windows PCs?
Microsoft Intune manages Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Windows devices from one web console, the Microsoft Intune admin center. No on-premises server is needed.
- What is automated device enrollment and what does it need?
Automated device enrollment prepares new or wiped devices out of the box. It needs an Apple token from Apple Business Manager and the Apple MDM push certificate in Intune.
- How is a Mac encrypted and what happens to the recovery key?
Intune configures FileVault on macOS. Intune retrieves and backs up the recovery key, called escrow, so administrators with the right role can view and rotate the key if needed.
- What happens when an iPhone is lost, or an employee leaves a business with personal phones?
Lost company devices receive a factory reset wipe. Departing staff with personal phones keep their personal data, while an app selective wipe removes only company data from work apps.
- Does CloudCentric need to see personal photos or messages on a personal iPhone?
Work apps and their data are managed, and personal apps and content stay with the person.
