Windows 8.1 No Longer Require Symantec Certificate for Intune Enrollment

With the new released Microsoft Intune, we no longer require Symantec certificate to enroll Windows 8.1 devices. However, if you are facing the following scenarios, you still require Symantec certificate.

If you want to sign and deploy your own line of business (LOB) apps to Windows Phone 8.1 devices

If you need to enroll Windows Phone 8 devices, even if you don’t want to deploy LOB apps to these devices

If your Intune subscription is connected to System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. Support for the “certificate-less” enrollment feature is planned for a future release of System Center Configuration Manager.

If your users cannot access the Microsoft Store, either because their access has been blocked by their IT admin or because they don’t have Microsoft accounts.
