There are a few things to check to fix this issue.

  • Make sure that the user account has an Intune license. This was missing in my case and adding the license fixed the problem.
  • If you are using group based licensing, make sure that Intune license is turned on for the group.
  • Make sure that the MDM user scope within Intune is not set to ‘None’. If a group is used, make sure that the user account that is failing is part of that group.
