Microsoft provides global technical, pre-sales, billing, and subscription support for device management cloud-based services, including Intune, Configuration Manager, and Microsoft Managed Desktop. You can access support for all of these from the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.

Support is available both online and by phone for paid and trial subscriptions. Online technical support is available in English and Japanese. Phone support and online billing support are available in additional languages.

With administrative access to the admin center, you can use the Help and Support option to file an on-line support ticket for a supported service. To create and manage a support incident, your account must have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) role that includes the actionmicrosoft.office365.supportTickets. For information about Azure AD roles and permissions that are required to create a support ticket, see administrator roles in Azure Active Directory.

Important

For technical support with third-party products that work with Intune (like Saaswedo, Cisco, or Lookout), contact the supplier of that product first. Before you open a request with Intune support, make sure you configured the other product correctly.

Access Help and support

Use one of the following links to open the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. The link you use depends on how your tenant is hosted:

  • Public cloud: Use https://endpoint.microsoft.com
  • Private cloud for government, which is also known as a sovereign cloud like Azure Government: Use https://endpoint.microsoft.us

From within the admin center, use one of the following methods to access Help and support:

  • Intune:

    • Managing devices with Intune
    • Endpoint analytics for Intune devices
  • Configuration Manager:

    This tile is available only to Microsoft Managed Desktop customers.

    • Change requests to the configuration of Microsoft Managed Desktop devices
    • Reporting an incident or outage

    If you are a Microsoft Managed Desktop customer, selecting that tile for Microsfot Managed Desktop related issues will take you to the Service Requests page. For more information on Service Requests, see Admin support for Microsoft Managed Desktop.

Tip

Help and Support might fail to open for newly created tenants, and the following message is presented:

  • We encountered an unknown problem. Please refresh the page but if the problem persists, please create a case through M365 Admin Center and reference the session ID provided.

The error details include a Session ID, Extension details, and more.

This problem occurs when you've not authenticated and accessed the Need Help from your new tenant account through either the Microsoft 365 Admin Center at https://admin.microsoft.com, or the Office 365 portal at https://portal.office.com. To resolve this problem, select the link for Microsoft 365 Admin Center in the message, or visit https://portal.office.com, and sign in. Following authentication at either site, go to the Admin area and click the Need Help icon in the lower right. After completeing these steps Help and Support for Intune becomes accessible.

Tip

Peugeot 205 gti repair manual. Customers with a Premier or Unified support contract have additional options for support.If you've a Premier or Unified support contract, you'll see a banner thats similar to the following image:

By default, the Help and support page opens to the Find Solutions pane. However, if you have an active support case then help and support opens to the Service requests pane where you can view details about your active and closed support cases.

Find solutions

On the Find solutions pane, specify a few details about an issue in the provided text box. The pane returns one or more of the following options based on the details you provide:

  • Run diagnostics – From the console you can start automated tests and investigations of your Tenant that can reveal known issues. When you run a diagnostic, you might receive mitigation steps you can take to help resolve the issue.
  • View insights – Find links to documentation that provide context and background for the product area or actions you've described.
  • Recommended articles – Follow links to troubleshooting and related content that focus on the issue you've described.

For example, for Microsoft Intune you might enter device enrollment failure. With these criteria, your results include the option to run Run diagnostics for a user account:

Running the diagnostics can identify issues for that account in your Azure AD. In this example, the user wasn't assigned a license for Intune, preventing the device enrollment, and a link to relevant content is provided:

Contact support

From the contact support pane, you can submit a request for assistance. This pane is available after you provide some basic keywords on the find solutions pane.

When requesting assistance, provide a description of the problem with as much detail as needed. After confirming your phone and email contact information, select the method of contact you prefer. The window displays a response time for each contact method, which gives you an expectation of when you'll be contacted. Before submitting your request, attach files like logs or screenshots that can help fill in details about the issue.

After you fill in the required information, select Contact me to submit the request.

Service requests

The Service requests pane displays your case history. Active cases are at the top of the list, with closed issues also available for review.

If you have an active support case number, you can enter it here to jump to that issue, or you can select any incident from the list of active and closed incidents to view more information about it.

When you're done viewing details for an incident, select the left arrow that appears at the top of the service request window just above the icons for the three Need Help? pane icons. The back arrow returns the display to the list of support incidents you've opened.

Premier and Unified support customers

As a customer with a Premier or Unified support contract, you can specify a severity for your issue, and schedule a support callback for a specific time and day. These options are available when you open or submit a new issue and when you edit an active support case.

Severity - The options to specify the severity of an issue depend on your support contract:

  • Premier: Severity of A, B, or C
  • Unified: Critical, or non-critical

Selecting either a severity A or Critical issue limits you to a phone support case, which provides the fastest option to get support.

Callback schedule - You can request a callback on a specific day and time.
