Intune - Switching MDM Authority from O365 to Intune

 

So for some strange reason, when you navigate to your Tenant Status Details, you notice that your MDM authority is Microsoft Office 365 instead of Microsoft Intune?

This can happen for a variety of reasons:

• You may have enabled "Basic security and mobility" a long time ago and you don't remember
• When you first time opened Intune you selected O365 as the MDM Autorithy
• etc.

Now...you have purchased a Microsoft 365 plan that have an Intune license and you want to change the MDM Authority to Microsoft Intune.

At least for me, the easiest way to do it asap, is like this:

1. Open the Intune for Education with a global admin (https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/)
2. Next go to "Tenant Settings" and from there select "Microsoft Intune" as the MDM Authority.

Quick and easy. And...you're done! :)
