The Dev Box team has been working hard to streamline the onboarding process for Dev Box administrators when first trying out the service, especially for situations when you’re unsure of all the necessary steps. In this blog, we are introducing a solution to make this process smoother and more efficient.

Introducing the Microsoft Dev Box Pre-Requisites Page, designed to guide admins through the essential steps needed to set up a Dev Box. This feature ensures that you have everything in place before diving into your development work, saving you time and reducing setup errors.

The pre-requisites page provides a comprehensive checklist, including 1) enabling Microsoft 365 licenses, 2) configuring Microsoft Intune, 3) setting up the firewall for Microsoft Dev Box, and 4) increasing quota as a recommendation. Each step links to detailed documentation, making it easy to follow and implement.

We appreciate your continuous feedback which helps us make Microsoft Dev Box better for everyone. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
