Chapter 5: Requirements for Microsoft Endpoint Manager
In this chapter, you will get a clear understanding of the different requirements for Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM), from OS versions and the URL firewall allow-listing to the required licenses and privileges. Before we get started with the technical in-depth content of this book, we will cover the requirements for MEM. Some of the requirements may not have any impact on your environment, and others will have a high impact. For example, network URL firewall requirements are not that important if you are in a zero-trust environment with all Microsoft technologies, but if you for some reason have a firewall, proxy servers, and so on in your environment, then they are highly important.
In this chapter, we'll go through the following topics:
- Endpoint scenarios
- Identity roles and privileges
- Network URL firewall requirements
- Licensing requirements
- Supported OSes
- Windows 11 hardware requirements...
