MDM Setup

The school uses Microsoft InTune for device management (Mobile Device Management). Here you will find instructions for each platform β€” explained step by step.

Which management level do I need?

LevelWhat happens?Recommended for
Apps OnlyYou install school apps yourself from the app store β€” the device is not registeredPrivate devices, if no management desired
Partial Management βœ…A work profile is created β€” school and private data are separatedMost students (recommended)
Full ManagementThe device is fully managed by the schoolDevices from the iPad initiative (automatic)
Privacy
With Partial Management, IT has no access to your personal photos, messages, apps or files. Only the work profile with school apps is managed.

Intune Company Portal

The Intune Company Portal is Microsoft's central app for device management. It is the entry point for registering your device and obtaining school apps on iOS and Windows.

App nameIntune Company Portal
DeveloperMicrosoft Corporation
PriceFree
Available foriOS (App Store), Windows (Microsoft Store)
Login credentialslastname.firstname@bgzwn.at + school password

What can the app do?

  • Device registration β€” register your device with the school IT (Partial or Full Management)
  • Install school apps β€” required apps (WebUntis, Teams) are deployed automatically; additional apps can be installed from the app catalogue
  • Check compliance status β€” shows whether your device meets school policies (e.g. passcode set, OS up to date)
  • Rename device β€” optionally give your device a recognisable name
  • Unregister device β€” the registration can be reversed at any time
How to find the app
Intune Company Portal app icon

Search the App Store for "Intune" or "Company Portal". Look for the app icon shown on the left. Publisher: Microsoft Corporation.

Open directly in the App Store

iOS (iPhone / iPad)

Option 1: Apps Only

Install the required apps (WebUntis, Teams, etc.) directly from the App Store. No registration needed.

Option 2: Partial Management (recommended)

1

Install Company Portal

Download the Intune Company Portal from the App Store. Search for "Intune" or "Company Portal".
2

Sign in with school account

Open the app and sign in with lastname.firstname@bgzwn.at and your personal password.
3

Register device

Tap "Begin registration" and follow the instructions. The app will ask you to install a management profile.
4

Confirm management profile

You will be redirected to iOS Settings. Tap "Profile Downloaded" β†’ "Install" β†’ enter your device passcode β†’ confirm "Install" β†’ "Trust".
5

Return to the app

Switch back to the Company Portal. The compliance check runs automatically. Once everything is green, the school apps will be installed.
6

Use school apps

Required apps like WebUntis and Teams are installed automatically. Additional apps are available in the "Apps" tab in the Company Portal.

Option 3: Full Management

Configured automatically for devices from the device initiative. The iPad is enrolled via Apple DEP (Device Enrollment Program) on first boot β€” no manual setup needed.

Common iOS Issues

  • "Registration failed" β€” Make sure you are connected to the school Wi-Fi and the password is correct. After 10 failed attempts the account is locked for 10 minutes.
  • Profile installation aborts β€” Go to Settings β†’ General β†’ VPN & Device Management and check if a "Downloaded Profile" is waiting. If so, tap it and install manually.
  • "Device not compliant" β€” Most common cause: no device passcode set. Go to Settings β†’ Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode) and set up a passcode.
  • Apps are not installing β€” Open the Company Portal β†’ "Devices" tab β†’ tap your device β†’ "Check compliance". If all green: wait 5–10 minutes, apps are downloading in the background.
  • Company Portal won't open β€” Uninstall and reinstall from the App Store. Your registration is preserved.

Windows 10 / 11

For Windows there are three paths β€” from "don't register at all" to "fully managed". For private laptops we recommend connecting via your school account (Partial Management).

Option 1: Use browser only (no registration)

You can use all school services (Office 365, WebUntis, edu.Suite) directly in the browser without registering your device. Just sign in at portal.office.com with your school account. This is the simplest and most privacy-friendly option.

Option 2: Connect with your school account (Partial Management β€” recommended)

This registers your private device with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) β€” it is not fully managed. You remain the owner and administrator of the device; the school only gets limited access (deploying school apps, compliance checks). Personal files stay private.

1

Open Settings

Windows key + i β†’ Accounts β†’ Access work or school.
2

Click β€œConnect”

Click "Connect" (not the alternative actions further down β€” see warning).
3

Enter your school account

Enter lastname.firstname@bgzwn.at and your personal password.
4

Confirm

Follow the instructions and confirm. No new Windows user account is created β€” you keep working with your usual account.
5

Done

The school account now appears under "Access work or school". School apps and policies are deployed in the background.
Warning: Avoid full management (Entra Join)!
In the sign-in dialog, a link appears at the bottom: "Alternative action: Join this device to Microsoft Entra ID". Do NOT click it! It would add your private device to full school management (a separate managed user account, full policies). For private laptops, always use the normal "Connect" path.

Option 3: Full management (school devices)

Windows devices issued by the school are already fully managed via Windows Autopilot (like the iPads). No manual setup is needed β€” the device enrols automatically on first start.

Common Windows issues

  • "Something went wrong" when connecting β€” Connected to the school Wi-Fi/internet? Are the PC's date and time correct? Then try again.
  • Login fails β€” Always use the full email lastname.firstname@bgzwn.at as the username. After 10 failed attempts the account is locked for 10 minutes.
  • School apps missing β€” after connecting, wait 10–15 minutes; apps install in the background. Optionally install the Company Portal from the Microsoft Store to get apps manually.
  • Accidentally "joined" (full join)? Disconnect (see below) and set it up again via "Connect".

Remove the registration

Settings β†’ Accounts β†’ Access work or school β†’ click the school account β†’ "Disconnect" β†’ confirm. Then restart the device.

General Notes

  • With Partial Management, IT has no access to personal files, photos or messages
  • Required apps like WebUntis and Teams are provided automatically after registration
  • You can undo the registration at any time in device settings
  • For problems: admin@bgzwn.at
