Deploying Android Apps with Windows Intune
Using Windows Intune standalone? You can quickly deploy apps using the following process! This example utilizes an Android emulator being managed through Intune. For more information on how to set that up for testing, see https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/setting-up-windows-intune-to-manage-android/.
Upload Android APK App
To begin, be sure to obtain a safe APK that you can deploy (e.g. don’t download an infected app!)
Click button to Add Software
Select the Android app installer type
Enter the desired app properties
Specify the Android OS version that the app can be installed upon
Finish the wizard
Deploy App to Device Group
Click button to Manage Deployment
Select the target group (this example just uses a static membership with my Intune user account)
Ensure the approval is set to be Available
Install App on Android Device
On your Android device (an emulator in this example), go to https://m.manage.microsoft.com and sign in
Select the app category
Select the app
Click “Get app”
When the app has been download, click the “drop arrow” that appears in the upper-left corner
Select the app
Select to Install (lower-right)
And voila…you’re app is installed!!
Setting up Windows Intune to Manage Android
Android with Windows Intune
Use this guide to help you get started testing management of Android devices with Windows Intune (Wave D) standalone. This guide assumes Office 365 has been completely set up, configured, and operational for your organization.
Create the emulator
First and foremost, create an Android emulator. One of the best guides that I have found for doing this is at http://www.javaexperience.com/10-easy-steps-to-install-android-emulator-in-windows/ (just make sure you’ve installed the latest version of Java first!). Below are the settings that I used for my emulator.
O365 Mailbox enabled for ActiveSync
Next, ensure that the user account(s) which will be used for testing the Android devices are enabled for ActiveSync.
Enable ActiveSync
Launch the Email app
Enter your username@domain.com and password
Select Exchange
Set the domain/username and server as m.outlook.com
Accept the cert
Configure settings as desired
You’re ready to go!
Activate the device
Once the sync has completed, then you’re connected
Exchange Connector (even for O365)
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj733621.aspx
Download the Exchange Connector from Intune (as this has an additional cert included):
Administration > Mobile Device Management > Microsoft Exchange > Exchange Connector
Managing Device Information
Confirm device
Create Android Device Group
Create Android User Group
Create Policy
“Create and Deploy a Custom Policy”
Set a policy name and require a password changed to require a password
Deploy the policy
