Introduction

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management solution that allows organizations to manage and secure apps and devices from a single console. It helps protect company data on company-owned devices, offering features like app management, device enrollment, compliance policies, and reporting.

This guide describes how to activate and configure the integration of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with Intune so you can:

  • Establish mapping between Acronis customer tenant and Microsoft Entra ID tenant.

    The Acronis integration with Microsoft Intune predates the Microsoft product name change from Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID. Therefore, the integration UI still refers to Azure AD. This will be updated in a future release of the integration.

  • Perform activities on mapped tenant devices which are enrolled in customer Intune:

    • Deploy Acronis agent.

    • Apply protection plan.

    • Uninstall Acronis agent.

    These operations are performed by PowerShell scripts, created by the integration in the customers' Intune space. This is achieved using Microsoft Graph API.

Using this guide

This guide adapts to the size of your screen. On a desktop PC or laptop, if you make the browser window narrow, the guide switches to the layout for mobile devices.

Desktop PCs and laptops

Navigating the content

The table of contents is on the left of the page. Sections that contain more topics have an arrow. Select the arrow to show or hide the topics in that section.

Search

The search field is in the upper-right corner of the page. It returns results from topic content.

Search is not case-sensitive.

To search for a specific phrase, enclose it in quotes. If you search for multiple words without quotes, the boolean operator 'AND' will be inferred. For example, if you search for "backup schedule", the search results will include topics that contain the phrase backup schedule, and the results are case insensitive. If you search for backup schedule, the search query will be equivalent to backup AND schedule. In this case, search results will include all topics that contain both words backup and schedule, regardless of their location in the text, and will ignore case.

You cannot search for partial words.

You can use boolean operators to narrow down or extend your search results:

  • AND - use to find only topics that contain all of the listed words. Space between words is always inferred to AND unless you enclose the search query in quotes. Quotes mean you are searching for a phrase.
  • OR - use to find topics that contain any of the listed words. This operator extends the search results.

Boolean operators are not case-sensitive. For example, using 'AND' or 'and' in your search query will not affect the search results.
