ITS uses device management software to provide support, programs, and access management for university devices. Historically, ITS has used a program called Microsoft Configuration Manager to manage computers running Windows. Starting in February 2023, ITS began transitioning to a new management software called Microsoft Intune. It provides numerous benefits for IT technicians and end-users and more closely meets the computing needs of today. The transition from the old system to Intune is gradual and staged.
Some processes and workflows that you are used to on your university-issued computer may be different on an Intune-enrolled computer. When following how-to articles in the Information Technology knowledge base, you may see instructions pertinent only to to Intune-enrolled computers. This article will let you know if your computer is enrolled in Intune.
Intune is only used to manage university-issued computers running Windows. Macs are not enrolled in Intune.
How to check Intune enrollment
Purchase date
If your Windows computer was purchased in the University PC Refresh Program in February 2023 or later, then it should be enrolled in Intune.
Login method
If you use your UConn email and password to sign in, it is most likely Intune-enrolled. If you use your NetID and password to sign in, it is not Intune-enrolled.
Software distribution
If you download university-issued software from a program called Company Portal, then your computer is Intune-enrolled. If you instead use a program called Software Center, then it is not Intune-enrolled.
