Use the curated answer as a starting point, then prove the outcome against the target tenant or device.
What it means
- Designed for kiosks and task devices
- A device-only Intune license can fit supported userless scenarios
- App protection policies and Conditional Access are not supported by an Intune device-only license
What to check next
- Choose single-app, multi-app, or shared-device design
- Validate token, restrictions, and Managed Home Screen assignment
- Confirm device-only versus user licensing against required features
Verify success
- Confirm a new device record appears in the intended tenant and ownership state.
- Verify the device checks in, receives policy, and reports compliant or the expected transitional state.
- Capture a fresh successful enrollment timestamp and remove obsolete duplicate records.
Escalate when
- Multiple known-good users or devices fail at the same enrollment stage.
- The failure persists after scope, restriction, licensing, and stale-object checks.
- You can provide sanitized enrollment logs, UTC time, tenant, and correlation identifiers.
