Windows Intune Step by Step Guide Part 2: Account Portal and Admin Portal

Back to main menu

There are two management portals that you can use to access the various features of your Windows Intune service. Part 2 of my Windows Intune Step by Step Guide describes them.


Admin Portal: https://admin.manage.microsoft.com (also called the Administrator Console)


Windows Intune Account Portal:

The Account Portal is a common configuration interface that administrators can use to manage users, groups, and domains for all Microsoft Online services, including Windows Intune and Office 365. With this online portal, you can check the status of your subscriptions, add new subscriptions, and activate new user accounts. It is also where you can set up and configure the link to your on-premise Active Directory Domain Service (ADDS) instance.


The following menu items are available:


Admin Overview


Setup Overview


Management: Users - Add & manage users




Management: Domains - add your own external domain. You must be able to verify that you own this domain (normally by configuring a verification DNS record)









Windows Intune Admin Portal (or Administrator Console):

This is where policies are configured and is the portal for daily device management.

The following menu items are available:


System Overview



Groups - here we configure groups of users, computers and mobile devices.


 Software Updates


Endpoint Protection


Alerts



Software - Detected & Managed



Policies


Reporting


Administration
