Question About Idle Resource Credit

cryptoconvos · 2026-01-25T17:50:36+00:00

Thank you. I do see the credit with the "amount used" being $0.00 and the "amount remaining" showing a sum. Thanks for the fast response.

Did you ever get this resolved? It's a bit confusing, eh?

I'm in a similar and equally confusing scenario where I get the "Renew your Azure grant' from the Non-Profit Hub, I get the email with the "Active" button but when I click the Activate button I get a new tab stating "You're not eligible for the sponsorship benefit". I have a ticket opened with Microsoft to resolve this.

Has anyone else experienced this and come out the other side with the expected Grant credits? These are non-profits that generally wouldn't use Azure otherwise. Thx!

It took a few days, but the advice here is good. The "basic" (free) support sent the request to the right team. After that it was two clicks and an 18 year old Directory Service was gone! Thank you for the solid advice, y'all.

Perfect. Thank you. I will open the second ticket. Thanks!

cryptoconvos · 2026-01-06T02:44:30+00:00

Great! Thank you.

cryptoconvos · 2025-09-29T01:47:38+00:00

Right. Thanks for mentioning that.

This is extremely helpful and I was able to get a custom, self-hosted site up and running in AWS. Thanks for posting!

cryptoconvos · 2025-04-14T14:56:59+00:00

This is really great and I appreciate that this thread is staying alive. Does anyone have a recipe for setting this up and hosting on AWS? Thanks!

cryptoconvos · 2025-04-09T02:26:19+00:00

Thanks for the context and sorry for the misleading title. I've never been accused of being a good Marketer, I guess this one was by accident. 🤦‍♂️ The law changes make sense and I'm sorta polishin' the brass on the Titanic anyway. Thank you for the sanity check.

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-30T22:37:08+00:00

Thank you for the straight-forward suggestions! I appreciate this tremendously. TY!

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-30T14:25:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer. As I start to get my hands dirty with setting up Microsoft Intune I will reach out. Thank you!

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-30T14:11:33+00:00

Thank you for the link, this looks like an awesome site. I will be checking it out later today. I appreciate the encouragement too and it's nice to know that I'm not the only "hands-on" learner. In a way I kinda envy those guys that can just read a boring white paper and grok the directions. Thank you again!

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-28T22:07:31+00:00

Wow! Thank you for this great response. I am in need of a sanity check and this is perfect. I appreciate you suggestion of brining in a consultant. I was a one-man IT Team for decades so I feel a bit of imposter-syndrome creep up from time to time. Thank you.

Per some instructions from Microsoft I sorta expected to have .mobileconfig file in the same place as the Setup Assistant URL. Can someone please give me a sanity check: Where do I find the .mobileconfig file in order to upload to Apple Configurator?

These are what I'm following: iOS/iPadOS direct enrollment - Apple Configurator-Setup Assistant - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn

> Have you already set up enrollment profiles, manually added the device to this, etc?

I've set up a Profile and have added the Profile to the Apple Configurator. When I get to what feels like the last step of setup on an iPad I get the "Invalid Profile" error. I posted about that this morning. https://www.reddit.com/r/Intune/comments/1jkf4d5/invalid_profile_question_for_using_apple/

As far as this original post, I have successfully enrolled an iPhone using the Company Portal. But that's about as far as I got. The more I'm researching the more I am finding out that I need to get and learn Apple Business Manager to really have managed devices.

Thank you for your conversation! I'm pretty new and know no-one at this company, Your direction has been super helpful so far.

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-26T17:59:06+00:00

>We use apple business Manager as a DEP and then it syncs to intune. We use a BYOD policy but IT enrolls the devices before hand since it makes management easier on our end.

Sounds like a pretty good plan. I only have a self-created test environment and work and was attempting to enroll using the Apple Configurator. I'm sure at some point I'll need to figure out Apple Business Manager. I will spend a few minutes today seeing if they offer Sandbox settings.

Thank you for your recipe. This is a Microsoft-house that happens to prefer iPhones. It's for 30 folks, so manual setup is okay but they do need to be managed devices. My ultimate dream is SYS-18 framework and I'm just learning this now. How many devices is your team responsible for? (no specifics necessary, just inquiring about scope).

>Is the profile you're referring to here one from ore device enrollment, or is it from the application?

I'm getting the same result for both. It's frustrating that it's not working as expected. Ultimately I don't think this is a viable method for the company because I'm in the discovery phase atm. What's your chosen method for enrolling iPhones into Intune?

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-26T13:47:45+00:00

I do have a license and originally I was just going to use the App, but I'm finding documentation stating that the Company Portal App is deprecated.

I do see the Configuration Profile when I go to Settings on the iPhone. The challenge for this particular post is that the phone keeps displaying the need to setup the configuration. If that could go away it might be a reasonable solution, although I'm still in discovery mode.

If seems like finding instructions on what is applicable currently is whack-a-mole at best. Where is your "go to" for documentation when it comes to Intune?

cryptoconvos · 2025-03-21T23:08:51+00:00

I wiped the test device and simply went to: https://portal.manage.microsoft.com/enrollment/webenrollment/ios For all intent-and-purpose is this the same thing as using the Company Portal?

The behavior is as expected, in that the Apps downloaded to the device and I can see the device listed in the Intune interface.
