Enrollment notification

Microsoft has released enrollment notification in public preview. These notifications can be useful for sending out a notification so a user can react if a device is being onboarded, but the user didn’t trigger it. Or even as a message for onboarding as a welcome message. In this blog I will take you through the configuration and how you can create it as an onboarding message.
