This post is mainly screenshots of what the Intune preview in the Azure Portal looks like, along with a few comments where appropriate. Since I started working with Intune in early 2011, when it was Windows Intune, and only a cloud based PC management solution, the Silverlight requirement has always been an issue for some, but we can see that progress is definitely being made to reduce the number of portals required for managing Enterprise Mobility + Security, and bringing consistency to the suite. If you are having trouble finding Intune blades in Azure, follow the instructions below.

First up, search for Intune (from more services, bottom left of Azure Portal).

You see two options, which I have selected the stars to favourite them. Intune App Protection links to the Intune Mobile Application Management functionality that has been in the Azure portal for quite a while now.

Once added, you will see the two items above added to the left hand side of the Azure Portal.

Clicking on Intune App Protection opens the Intune MAM blade, which I’ve covered previously. The interesting thing here is the rebranding, which I think we will probably be reading more about pretty soon…

Clicking on the Intune link on the right hand side of the Azure Portal opens the Intune preview blade, where we have the choice of;

Manage Users is a link to the Azure Active Directory blade, which has been in preview since shortly prior to Ignite. It’s had a few updates since then, but you can see that it’s a bit richer with extra icons and working views.

Well, I can’t show you anything here yet, as you can see, and as you can probably imagine, I know where the classic Intune portal link will take me… our old friend Silverlight… I took these screenshots in Edge, so that’s a good enough reason to not click the link.
