Today we are discussing on ACME Protocol Support for macOS and Automated Device Enrollment in Intune. As you all know, Microsoft Intune enhances its features with every update. In 2024, one of the most advanced changes is in the Automated Certificate Management Environment Protocol (ACME) Support for macOS and Automated Device Enrollment.

Microsoft Intune improved the security of certificates, so it is updating to support managed device attestation using the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol. The integration of ACME will be one of the most critical changes to the Apple device platform.

This update includes a gradual rollout of a new system for new enrollments that supports the ACME protocol. The Automated Certificate Management Environment protocol was created to make it easier to automatically get, renew, and manage digital certificates.

ACME protocol support for macOS device enrollment and Automated Device Enrollment in Intune significantly improves certificate management and device security. So in this briefly overview Automated Certificate Management Environment Protocol Support for macOS and ADE in Intune.
