Introduction
This book provides you with an introduction to the Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS). In it, you are put in the driver’s seat through scenario-based content covering each of the independent technologies that make up EMS: Microsoft Azure AD Premium, Azure Rights Management Services (RMS), and Microsoft Intune. Throughout the chapters, we guide you through the process of implementing EMS to support Mobile Device Management (MDM) of both company-owned devices and personally-owned devices in your enterprise environment.
The scenarios described in this book are truly end-to-end. Starting with enabling hybrid identity, you will quickly learn how to secure corporate data access, protect your employees’ personal information, manage iOS, Android, and Windows devices, and, finally, how to monitor and perform basic troubleshooting of all EMS components.
The target audience for this book is comprised of enterprise IT Pros who are either charged with implementing EMS for their organizations or just want to learn more about the technologies that are included in EMS. While it is not possible to cover every aspect and nuance of the technologies included in EMS in a single book, we have attempted to include the content we believe will provide you with the solid foundation you will need as you begin your own EMS implementation journey.

Yuri Diogenes I would also like to thank my wife and daughters for their endless support and understanding; my great God for giving me strength and keep guiding my path; my friend and co-author Jeff Gilbert (without you this project would not have been possible—thanks); my great friends and former co-authors Tom Shinder and Jim Harrison (you both keep inspiring me to write); my former managers Kathy Watanabe and Jason Whitmarsh for their support when I joined the team; and last, but not least, my parents for working hard to give me an education, which is the foundation that I use every day to keep moving forward in my career.
Jeff Gilbert I would also like to thank my wife and kids for their support in always lending a sympathetic ear to my excited technical ramblings—which I’m sure sounded like a foreign language to them. This book could not have been possible without the help of Yuri Diogenes, my co-author and the one who inspired me to join him on this journey. I’d also like to thank all those whom I work with at Microsoft and my friends in the systems management IT community who have always supported me and given focus to the work I do every day.
