Intune Training: Setting Up Kiosks in Microsoft Intune

Introduction

Setting up kiosks in Intune can be a hassle, but with our step-by-step guide, you will be able to configure and set up kiosks easily and efficiently.

Getting Started

To get started, open the InTune portal and navigate to the Device Configuration section. From there, you will create a new profile. We will be creating two profiles: one for a single app kiosk and one for a multi-app kiosk.

Single App Kiosk

For the single app kiosk profile, select the Windows 10 and later platform and choose “Kiosk” as the configuration type. Within the Kiosk category, select the “Single App Full Screen Kiosk” option. This will allow you to automatically sign in to a device and launch a specific application.

Next, select the Microsoft Edge browser as the application type. You can choose between “Digital Interactive Signage” or “Public Browser in Private” depending on your needs. The former is ideal for scenarios where users will not interact with the webpage, while the latter is suitable for scenarios where users will be interacting with a website or web service.

Once you have selected the application type, you can further customize the settings for the kiosk, such as the Start screen layout, taskbar visibility, and access to downloads. It is important to specify a maintenance window for the device to ensure proper updates and management.

Multi-App Kiosk

For the multi-app kiosk profile, follow the same steps as the single app kiosk profile, but select the “Multi-App Kiosk” option instead. This allows you to assign multiple apps to the kiosk, giving users more options and versatility.

With the multi-app kiosk, you can specify the user type for login, add Azure AD users or groups, and configure additional apps and settings.

Assigning Policies

Once you have created the kiosk profiles, you can assign them to specific groups or devices. In the Intune portal, go to the Assignments section and select the desired group or device to apply the kiosk policies.

After assigning the policies, the changes may take some time to propagate to the devices. It is important to ensure that the maintenance window is set correctly to allow for updates and policy application.

Testing and Troubleshooting

Once the kiosk policies have been applied, you can test them on the assigned devices. Restart the devices and check if the kiosk mode is activated. You can also monitor the device configuration settings in the Intune portal to ensure everything is working as expected.

If you encounter any issues or need to further customize the kiosk settings, refer to the Microsoft documentation for detailed instructions on managing kiosk profiles and troubleshooting common problems.

Conclusion

Setting up kiosks in Microsoft Intune is a straightforward process that can greatly benefit organizations in various industries. Whether you need a single app kiosk or a multi-app kiosk, Intune provides the tools and flexibility to easily configure and manage these devices. By following our step-by-step guide, you can streamline the process and ensure a seamless kiosk experience for your users.
