Windows 11 is general available since October 5. So to deploy Windows 11 via Intune/MEM (Microsoft Endpoint Manager) you can follow these simple steps.
At the customer I am currently working for we are deploying Windows 11 to a pilot group first, after that (because, you know, we’ll have to inform end-users before they get really shocked :)) we are going to roll it out globaly.
Well, to do so:
- Log in the MEM portal (https://endpoint.microsoft.com)
- Go to Devices
- Go to Windows
- Go to Feature Updates for Windows 10 and later
- Click on Create profile
- On the Create feature update deployment page fill in the Name and select Windows 11 as the feature update to deploy.
- Within the Assignments section add your Azure AD group to include or exclude from this feature update.
- Click Next
- Click Create
Now you are done. As you all know, it may take a while for the machine to contact MEM. But if it does, the Windows 11 feature update will be rolled out.
You can monitor the roll-out (well you can see the failures) within MEM. Go to Home > Devices > Monitor. There you can see the Feature update failures from the Software updates section.
