Intune multi app kiosk mode using the new Microsoft edge

Intune multi app kiosk mode using the new Microsoft edge

Introduction

This is my notes while playing around with kiosk. I was testing the brand-new Kiosk setting for the new Microsoft Edge and the only result I got out of that was a non-working device. Eventlog saying MDM Session: Failed to get AAD Token for sync session User Token: (Unknown Win32 Error code: 0xcaa10001) Device Token: (Incorrect function.). I must mention that it was right after its release and later tests has worked just fine.

So why make a blog post for kiosk using multi app mode? Well because this method just works!

A huge thanks to Microsoft MVP Peter Klapwijk for making a blogpost for multi kiosk environment which helped me in the right direction.

  • For more in-depth information see official docs here and also Michael Niehaus’s deep insight into Autopilot self-deploying mode here
