In the first part of this blog series I went through the introduction and the prerequisites, in the second part I went through the installation and configuration of AD FS and in the third part I went through the directory synchronization. This fourth part of the blog series will finally be about ConfigMgr and Microsoft Intune. During this part the last configurations will be done to get the required UPNs to ConfigMgr and to synchronize this information to Microsoft Intune. Synchronize new UPN to ConfigMgr To correctly synchronize the correct user information via Microsoft Intune, it is required to discover the most recent UPN changes to the users. Open the Configuration Manager console and navigate to Administration > Overview > Hierarchy Configuration > Discovery Methods, right-click Active Directory User Discovery and select Run Full Discovery Now.Create a Microsoft Intune collection To allow user to enroll their mobile device through Microsoft Intune it’s required to specify which user are allowed to perform this action. This is done by specifying a collection during the configuration of the Microsoft Intune connector. First we need to create this collection. Open the Configuration Manager console and navigate to Assets and Compliance > Overview, right-click User Collections and select Create User Collection. The Create User Collection Wizard will show. Provide a name like All Microsoft Intune Users and limit the collection to the All Users collection. Walk through the wizard and simply add a few users that a required to enroll their devices through Microsoft Intune. Add Windows Intune Subscription To integrate Microsoft Intune with ConfigMgr it’s required to add the subscription to ConfigMgr. Open the Configuration Manager console and navigate to Administration > Overview > Cloud Services, right-click Windows Intune Subscriptions and select Add Windows Intune Subscription. The Create Windows Intune Subscription Wizard will show. On the Getting started page, click Next. On the Windows Intune Subscription page, click Sign In. In the Set the Mobile Device Management Authority dialog box, select I understand.. and click OK. In the Subscription dialog box, specify the Microsoft Intune subscription details and click Sign In. Back on the Windows Intune Subscription page, click Next. On the General Configuration page, select the collection All Microsoft Intune Users (created in the previous step), provide some company details, specify the site code and click Next. On the Platforms page, click Next. On the Company Contact Information page, specify the contact details of the company and click Next. On the Company Logo page, click Next. On the Summary page, click Next. On the Completion page, click Close. Add the Windows Intune Connector role To connect Microsoft Intune with ConfigMgr the last step is to install the Windows Intune Connector. Open the Configuration Manager console and navigate to Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Servers and Site System Roles, right-click \\<PrimairySiteServer> and select Add Site System Roles. On the General page, click Next. On the Proxy page, click Next. On the System Role Selection page, select the Windows Intune Connector and click Next. On the Summary page, click Next. On the Completion page, click Close. Verify the Single Sign-On in Microsoft Intune After integrating Microsoft Intune and ConfigMgr the last step is to verify that it’s all working. On a Windows device navigate to PC Settings > Network > Workplace and provide the on-premises credentials of a user that is a member of the All Microsoft Intune Users collection. Notice that this will also redirect to the on-premises AD FS for verifying the credentials. Notice after that a successful enrollment with the on-premises credentials.

In the first part of this blog series I went through the introduction and the prerequisites and in the second part I went through the installation and configuration of AD FS. This third part of the blog series will be all about configuring, configuring and configuring. First it's required to add the public domain name to the Microsoft Online Services, then I'll add the public domain name as a UPN to the users and then I'll enable active directory synchronization. Enable Active Directory Synchronization The first thing is that I have to enable Active Directory synchronization in the Microsoft Online Services. This allows me to synchronize our on-premises users to the Azure AD. First connect to the Microsoft Online Services by using the following command, which will prompt for credentials. In the credentials dialog box provide the credentials of the Microsoft Intune subscription.Connect-MsolService –Credential $cred After that it’s possible to enable Active Directory synchronization by using the following command.Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $true After using the command to enable Active Directory synchronization it’s required to confirm the action by simply answering with Y. To verify a successful configuration, simply logon to the Account portal and verify the Active Directory synchronization setting by navigating to Management > Users. It should display the following information. Add public User Principal Name to users To enable the user to use the public domain name to logon to their devices, and the Microsoft Online Services, it’s necessary to add the public domain name as their primary User Principal Name (UPN). These configurations will be done through PowerShell. To add a UPN for a forest use the following command. In that command the Identity is the forest name and the UPNSuffixes is the public domain name.Set-ADForest -Identity "PTCLOUD" -UPNSuffixes @{Add="petervanderwoude.nl"} To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply open the Properties of one of the Active Directory Domains and Trusts and check the UPN Suffixes tab. To set the UPN as a user’s primary UPN use the following command. In that command the SearchBase is the OU that contains the required users and the UserPrincipalName is the public domain name.Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=NORMAL USERS,OU=USERS,OU=PTCLOUD,DC=PTCLOUD,DC=LOCAL' -Properties userPrincipalName | foreach { Set-ADUser $_ -UserPrincipalName "$($_.samaccountname)@petervanderwoude.nl"} To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply open the Properties of one of the users and check the Account tab. Install and configure Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync Services The next thing is to install and configure the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync Services. This tool will allow us to synchronize the on-premises user with the Azure AD. On the Welcome to Azure AD Sync page, specify an Installation path, select I agree to the License terms and click Install. On the Connect to Azure AD page, specify the credentials of the Microsoft Intune subscription and click Next. On the Connect to AD DS page, specify the information of the on-premises forest (see prerequisites) and click Add Forest. After the forest is added click Next. On the Uniquely identifying your user page, click Next. On the Optional features page, click Next. On the Ready to configure page, click Configure. On the Finished page, click Finish. Verify user synchronization After setting up the user synchronization it’s important to verify the success. In the Account portal, navigate to Management and click Users. In the Users overview it should start showing the synchronized users. Note: In my overview it shows a user with the public domain name UPN, a user without and the initial administrator.

In the first part of this blog series I went through the introduction and the prerequisites. This second part of the blog series will be all about installing and configuring Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and the AD FS proxy, which is the Web Application Proxy (WAP) in Server 2012 R2. AD FS will be used to federate with Microsoft Azure AD for the authentication of the user’s on-premises. Install Active Directory Federation Services The first thing that’s required is to install is AD FS. This installation will be done through PowerShell on the CLDSRV01. To install AD FS use the following PowerShell command.Install-WindowsFeature Adfs-Federation -IncludeManagementTools To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply look at the output of the action. Configure the federation server After installing AD FS it’s required to configure the federation server. This configuration will be done through PowerShell on the CLDSRV01. The first steps will get the required input for the command. Get the certificate thumbprint of the certificate (see prerequisites). To get this information run the command below. This will provide a nice overview of the thumbprints of the different certificates. Simply look for the one that belongs to the mentioned certificate.dir Cert:\LocalMachine\My To provide the credentials of the service account for AD FS run the following command and provide the credentials.$ADFSCred = Get-Credential To configure AD FS run the following command. In this command CertificateThumbprint is the thumbprint of the required certificate (first step) and ServiceAccountCredential is the supplied credentials (second step).Install-AdfsFarm -CertificateThumbprint "6532759C67678B50811739261B101B87916C1BC4" -FederationServiceName "sts.petervanderwoude.nl" -ServiceAccountCredential $ADFScred To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply look at the output of the action. Install Web Application Proxy The next component that needs to be installed is WAP. This installation will be done through PowerShell on the CLDSRV00. One important thing to note here is that this server should be able to resolve the public federation service name to the CLDSRV01.PTCLOUD.LOCAL. This can be solved to either add an entry to the host file or by adding the information to DNS. To install WAP use the following PowerShell command.Install-WindowsFeature Web-Application-Proxy -IncludeManagementTools To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply look at the output of the action. Configure Web Application Proxy After the installation of WAP it’s required to configure it to connect to the AD FS server. This will be done through PowerShell on the CLDSRV00. Get the certificate thumbprint of the certificate (see prerequisites). To get this information run the command below. This will provide a nice overview of the thumbprints of the different certificates. Simply look for the one that belongs to the mentioned certificate.dir Cert:\LocalMachine\My To perform the configuration of WAP run the following command in which CertificateThumbprint is the thumbprint of the required certificate (previous step) and FederationServiceName is the name of the configured federantion service. Also, this command will ask for the credentials with enough permissions to configure the federation services.Install-WebApplicationProxy –CertificateThumbprint "6532759C67678B50811739261B101B87916C1BC4" -FederationServiceName "sts.petervanderwoude.nl" To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply look at the output of the action. Verify the AD FS Sign-In page After installing and configuring AD FS and WAP it’s very important to know for sure that it’s working. This testing can be done on any device connected to the Internet. Open the Internet Explorer and browse to https://sts.petervanderwoude.nl/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.htm Click Sign in and provide the required credentials and click Sign in again. This should change the displayed text to You are signed in. Note: Replace the public domain for the personal (or company’s) own public domain name. Create a trust between AD FS and Azure AD The next thing that’s required is to configure the federation with the Microsoft Online Services. To do this it’s required to add the public domain name to the Microsoft Online Services as a federated domain. This will allow us to use the public domain name for the various Microsoft Online Services. This configuration will be done through PowerShell on the CLDSRV02. First connect to the Microsoft Online Services by using the following command, which will prompt for credentials. In the credentials dialog box provide the credentials of the Microsoft Intune subscription.Connect-MsolService –Credential $cred After that it’s required to also connect with the on-premises AD FS by using the following command.Set-MsolADFSContext -Computer cldsrv01.ptcloud.local Now it’s possible to add a new federated domain, by using the following command.New-MsolFederatedDomain –DomainName petervanderwoude.nl A message will show that it’s required to verify the specified domain name, by adding a TXT record to the domain registar. Logon to the domain registar and specify the information about the TXT record. After specifying the TXT record it’s required to run the previous command again. This time to verify the domain name.New-MsolFederatedDomain –DomainName petervanderwoude.nl To verify the success of the PowerShell action, simply look at the output of the action. Another place to verify a successful configuration is to simply logon to the Account portal and verify the Single sign-on setting by navigating to Management > Users. It should display the following information. Verify the Single Sign-On configuration After installing and configuring AD FS and WAP it’s very important to know for sure that it’s working. Open the Internet Explorer and browse to https://portal.manage.microsoft.com/ Click Use another account and provide the required credentials and click Sign in. After specifying the public UPN of the user the page will redirect to the on-premises AD FS. Note: Replace the public domain for the personal (or company’s) own public domain name.
