Fixing Device Enrollment Managers DeviceCapReached error 801c000e

-
If you are using Device Enrollment Managers account (aka DEM) to enroll devices in Microsoft Intune in bulk, then this blog post may just help you.

In case you are new to DEM account, then it is basically a non-administrator user account that can be used to enroll devices in Intune. Device enrollment managers are useful when you need to enroll and prepare many devices for distribution. People signed in to a DEM account can enroll and manage up to 1,000 devices, while a standard non-admin account can only enroll 15.

It is important to note that a DEM account requires an Intune user or device license, and an associated Azure AD user. Global Administrators and Intune Service Administrators can add and manage device enrollment managers in the Microsoft Intune admin center.

However, there are some limitations and according to Microsoft,

"Applying an Azure AD maximum device limit of less than 1,000 to a DEM account will prevent you from reaching the 1,000 device limit that the DEM account can enroll."

That makes perfect sense, because the default limit for users to join in Azure AD is the recommended value of 20.


To fix this, increase the value to 1000 or higher as anything lower will not allow the DEM account to reach 1000 devices that it supports for enrollment. Here is how you can do it -

2. Go under Devices->All devices->Device settings
3. Change the Maximum number of device per user to 1000 or higher. I am setting it to Unlimited.

Until next time..

How to force escrowing of BitLocker recovery keys using Intune

-

Every now and then it so happens that BitLocker recovery keys do not escrow in AAD. The usual culprits are incorrect BitLocker policies and\or the device hardware configuration failing to meet the minimum requirements. The other scenario and something I recently experienced is when everything is setup right and still the recovery key doesn’t escrow in AAD. As I understand, this can happen if the escrow process got interrupted the first time due to network or local devices related issues and the process could not resume. To circumvent this issue, one can simply push a PowerShell script to the devices to force the escrow of the recovery keys to AAD. Here is a script to do so. try{ $BitlockerVol = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint $env:SystemDrive         $KPID=""         foreach($KP in $BitlockerVol.KeyProtector){             if($KP.KeyProtectorType -eq "RecoveryPassword"){                 $KPID=$KP.KeyProtectorId                 break;             }         }        $o

Intune: Configure Printers for Non-Administrative Users

Configuring printers for end users or giving them the ability to do it themselves is a normal requirement for organizations. Now if your users are Administrators, then the configuration can be straight forward, but in case of Non-Administrators there are additional steps required as Non-Administrators will not be able to add a driver in the driver store despite being able to install a printer. In this blog, I will cover the steps that I took to address this requirement using Intune. The setup involves 2 steps -  1. Setup registries. 2. Install the driver and configure the printer Setting up registries – The registries that need to be configured are actually part of a GPO setting – Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these device setup classes It can be found under: Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Driver Installation I used a Powershell script to set the values and wrapped it in a Win32 application. $Path1

Implementing and maintaining a good security posture is an integral part of overall IT security governance for most organizations now. While you want to harden the security of infrastructure and give least number of privileges to your end users, sometimes you may need to cut back on the restrictions to ensure a good user experience and an effective IT support process. Recently, I had a requirement where the customer wanted to ease the restriction on the end user devices to make the helpdesk support process more efficient. This involved easing the UAC level access for the Standard users and if you are managing your devices using Intune, then this blog may just help you. Let us see what all is involved and some of the ways that you can use to implement this easily. Policy CSP – LocalPoliciesSecurityOptions LocalPoliciesSecurityOptions has many CSP settings and if you are managing these settings at an individual level, then the CSP that we need to concern ourselves with here is U
