Teams Rooms comes with a specially configured Windows 10 image supplied by the original equipment manufacturer OEM. Successful installation and deployment of Teams Rooms requires preparation, such as account provisioning and a device deployment and enrollment strategy. For detailed information to help you plan your Teams Rooms deployments, see Deployment overview – Microsoft Teams Rooms. Mobile device management MDM enrollment is not part of the default installation process for Teams devices.

Windows Autopilot enrollment is not supported. There are two methods for enrolling Teams Rooms Windows devices in Intune. Our recommended method is to use bulk enrollment, which allows you to also set up the device in shared device mode. Please note that these steps must be done manually, and you will need to give passwords to local technicians. From a license perspective, everything you need to register the device in Azure Active Directory Azure AD and enroll it in Intune is already covered by the Microsoft Teams Rooms licenses.

Your organization might already have unmanaged Teams Rooms Windows devices in operation that are set up with local user accounts. The local account is used to perform an automated sign in to Windows, while the Teams app on these devices is using the Azure AD Teams resource account to sign in. There are two options for registering and enrolling these devices. The first option is to use a resource account to register and enroll the device. The second and preferred option is to create a provisioning package with Windows Configuration Designer and apply this to a Teams Rooms device.

This will restart the device and apply the settings for example, a computer name , and join it to Azure AD. This helps to identify which devices to apply Teams Rooms-related settings and policies to, and will handle them as a group, separate from other Windows devices. To learn more about Teams device enrollment and policies, see the blog post Managing Microsoft Teams Rooms with Intune.

A screenshot showing the “Microsoft account – Set up a work or school account” pop-up, with “Join this device to Azure Active Directory” selected at the bottom.

However, in Azure AD the user does not have any rights. A screenshot of the “Make sure this is your organization” pop-up, showing “User type: Administrator” to confirm you are signed in with Administrator credentials. We used a user account for enrollment, so the device is mapped to the resource account, as we can see in the Primary user field. An image of the device “Overview” page in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, showing the “Primary user” field.

Typically, these types of devices are considered shared devices, so you should manually remove the primary user.

Select Properties, and then select Remove primary user and select Save at the top of the page. A benefit of using a DEM account over a resource account is that the DEM account can only enroll devices and will not have any rights to access mailboxes, calendars etc.

An image of the warning message that you will get if you choose to remove the primary user: “Removing the primary user of a device configures it to operate in shared mode.

A screenshot of the Windows Configuration Designer UI that has different options to create different types of provisioning packages, or open a recent project. For our example, we select Provision desktop devices to create a new project, add a name, the project folder path, and an optional description, and then select Finish.

Note the token expiration date in the Bulk Token Expiry field and select Next.

In Intune, we see the new, corresponding enrollment account that Windows Configuration Designer created. Note : The account that was used for the token request is not stored in the package.

To continue with the installation, select Yes, add it. An image of the dialog “Is this package from a source you trust? A screenshot showing the dialog “You’re about to be signed out: Windows will shut down in 1 minute”. Note: If you install a provisioning package on a device which is already in use, but not enrolled in Intune, it does not reset the system.

Windows applies the new settings, renames the computer, and joins the device to Azure AD, if specified. Furthermore, enrollment accounts used by the provisioning process do not assign a primary user for the device. The only way to enroll a new Teams Rooms device during setup is to use a provisioning package. You can use the package we built in our example and copy it to a USB drive in the root folder. Setup will find the file and will continue with the enrollment.

For more information, see Apply a provisioning package. Important: Windows Autopilot enrollment is not supported for Teams Rooms devices.

If you have completed a new installation or have enrolled an existing device with a provisioning package, the User Account Control dialog will not show the local Administrator account anymore in your Teams Rooms settings. For example, you will sign in with the account. There are several ways to enroll Teams Rooms Windows devices in Intune. However, instead of using these accounts and the manual steps they require, you can use a provisioning package to enroll Teams Rooms devices in Intune.

If you do decide to enroll Teams Rooms devices with a resource account, remember that the account still has resource access to certain services. For new installations of Teams Rooms, you can apply a provisioning package during the OOBE phase of the setup process.

After completion, the device is already enrolled in Intune. We hope this post helps you better understand the different options for enrolling Teams Rooms devices in Intune. Keep in mind that we recommend using a provisioning package and a dedicated account for enterprise installations and registrations with minimal interaction.
