This will be a very short, but yet useful blog post about making the self-enrollment end-user experience better for your users.
Keep in mind that this way of enrollment is not intended for large scale enterprises.
Today we will take a look at how you can use “Deep links” to help guide your users to self-enroll their device in Microsoft365 Intune on Windows 10 devices, this can provide a solution with fewer clicks for your users to perform the self-enrollment, without the need to send long guides with complicated steps.
Configuration
It’s a very simple procedure for you as an IT-administrator and your users.
You need a way to provide your users with the deep link for Microsoft MDM enrollment. This could be done via email. (See example below)
And make sure you have enabled the Windows autoenrollment feature in endpoint.microsoft.com.

You also need to configure DNS records under domains in your tenant settings for Microsoft Intune.
