Does Microsoft 365 Business Premium include Intune?

Yes. Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Microsoft Intune for device and app management, alongside Entra ID P1, Defender for Business, and the Office desktop apps. The 300-seat cap on the plan itself is the practical limit, not an Intune feature limit.

What is included

  • Full Microsoft Intune device management (enrollment, configuration profiles, compliance policies, app protection, Autopilot).
  • Entra ID P1 — Conditional Access, self-service password reset with writeback, dynamic groups.
  • Defender for Business — endpoint protection sized for small and mid-market fleets.
  • The Office desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams).
  • Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams at the same service level as E3.

Where it stops

  • The plan itself is capped at 300 seats. Above that, Enterprise plans (E3/E5) apply, and Intune becomes a separate line item on E3 or bundled in the Intune Suite.
  • Intune Suite features (Endpoint Privilege Management, Remote Help, Advanced Endpoint Analytics) are a separate add-on on Business Premium the same way they are on E3.
  • Defender for Business is not Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 — advanced hunting, custom detection rules, and the full Defender XDR stack need Microsoft 365 E5 or the E5 Security add-on.
