Getting Started with Microsoft Device Compliance

Kandji 's Microsoft Device Compliance (MSDC) integration combines Kandji's device management and compliance features with Microsoft's conditional access capabilities. Built through Microsoft's device compliance partner program, this integration simplifies the setup and configuration process between Kandji and Microsoft and streamlines the deployment of required applications through the Kandji Library. Once configured and devices are registered with Microsoft, Kandji's device inventory and compliance data can be used in Microsoft Conditional Access policies. This ensures that only managed and compliant devices can access corporate resources. Kandji's MSDC integration supports macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices.

Prerequisites

All Devices

• Devices must be managed by Kandji

• A Microsoft user directory integration must be set up in your Kandji tenant

• A user from the configured directory integration must be assigned to the device record

• Device users must be assigned a Enterprise Mobility + Security license, which includes Microsoft Entra ID Premium and Microsoft Intune

• A Microsoft user account that can accept requested app permissions

• Kandji must be configured as a device compliance partner in Intune

Configuration Overview

Below are the basic steps required to set up and deploy Microsoft Device Compliance with Kandji.

1. Configure Kandji as a device compliance partner in Intune.

2. Set up the MSDC integration in Kandji.

3. Deploy Applications for end user device registration.

   • macOS

   • iOS and iPadOS

     • The Kandji Self Service app must be deployed using Apps and Books

     • The Microsoft Authenticator app from the Apple App Store must be assigned to Kandji via Apps and Books in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager

     • Configure the Microsoft Authenticator Apps and Books Library Item

4. Deploy Single Sign-on Profiles.

   1. macOS

      1. If you use Platform SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, please make sure this is deployed first, and have the user register with Platform SSO before registering with Microsoft Device Compliance.

      2. If you do not utilize Platform SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, deploy Microsoft Single Sign-on Extension macOS settings in the Single Sign-On Extension Library Item.

         • Inside the Library Item, set the Installs On field to only include Mac
