Register your personal device on your work or school network

What happens when you register your device

While you're registering your device on your organization's network, the following actions will happen:

• Windows registers your device on your organization's network.

• Optionally, based on your organization's choices, you might be asked to set up two-step verification through either two-factor authentication or security info.

• Optionally, based on your organization's choices, you might be automatically enrolled in mobile device management, such as Microsoft Intune. For more info about enrolling in Microsoft Intune, see Enroll your device in Intune.

• You'll go through the sign-in process, using the username and password for your work or school account.
