In this guide, we explore steps to enable Intune for management of Android devices.
The first step in the process involves registration to Google by creating a Google Account.
After completing this step, head over to Configure Managed Google Play for Intune.
Create a Managed Google Play Account
Important – Managed Google Play requires a personal or consumer Google Account. A G Suite or Workspace account is not valid.
In the Endpoint Manager Console, navigate to Devices > Enroll Devices > Android Enrollment > Managed Google Play
At Step 1, select the toggle box to acknowledge you agree for Microsoft to send user and device information to Google.
At Step 2, select ‘Launch Google to Connect Now’.
Google Play will open in a new window, select ‘Sign In’.
Select ‘Create Account’, then select ‘For Myself’.
Top Tip – The Managed Google Play integration is associated with the Google Account used to create it. As best practice, use a consumer Google Account, which belongs to your organisation for management tasks and make sure the mailbox is monitored by more than one person like a distribution list.
To create a Google Account, complete the required information:
**Example**
First Name: UEM
Last Name: Authority
Username: uemauthority@gmail.com
Password: (8 characters or more, Upper and lowercase letters & At least one number)
Phone Number: 0000000
Recovery Email Address: (Use an email address that belongs to your company domain. A shared mailbox for admins only, for example)
Birthday: 01/01/1990
Gender: (Your preference)
Birthday: 01/01/1990
Personalisation Settings: Express Personalisation
Select ‘Next’ to confirm personalisation settings.
Select ‘Confirm’ to acknowledge how Google will use your account data.
Select ‘I Agree’ to agree with Google privacy and terms.
You have now created a Google Account.
