On Windows devices not yet registered in Intune, a pop-up appears when logging in. In doubt whether your device should also be registered in Intune?

Should be in Intune

User-bound, standard Windows devices of UGent employees (usually laptops) must be registered in Intune:

• Check whether your device is already in Intune.
• If not: contact your local system administrator as soon as possible or make an appointment at the ServiceDesk (only for laptops!)

Not in Intune, management via ECM

Shared, public and technical Windows devices (mostly desktops) should not be in Intune and will be managed with ECM. Specifically:

• Shared devices: administration offices, reception, flex, ...
• Public devices: PC rooms, auditoria and meeting rooms, libraries, practicums, ...
• Technical devices: labs (measurement set-up, scanner, ...), HVAC controls, workstation, cash registers, digital signage, ...

Do you conclude that your device should not be in Intune but in ECM instead? Contact your local system administrator as soon as possible or let us know via DICT HelpMe.

Endpoint Configuration Manager (ECM)

After thorough consideration, an approach based on the Endpoint Configuration Manager (ECM) was chosen to manage shared, public and technical devices. That technology has been used at UGent for several years for managing mainly servers. Since ECM does not require complete reconfiguration, it is less invasive for both system administrators and end users.
