Let’s understand the unknown Win32 Error Code 0x80180014 Failed Issue more. When a user tries to enroll a personal Windows 10 or Windows 11 device into Intune, I have seen this issue.

The following post is applicable for Windows 10 and Windows 11 scenarios. Windows 11 Intune Enrollment Process Using Company Portal Application Settings App
The following is one of the errors I got several months back on a Windows 10 PC (setting app enrollment). The Intune enrollment error says Your Organization doesn’t support this version of Windows. (0x80180014).
This error message is a bit clear, and it says that there is some Intune policy restricting the device from enrolling into Intune. But it didn’t specifically mention the Windows OS version it’s looking for, etc.

Let’s check more details about Company Portal Enrollment Error 80180003. In the following screenshot, you can see how the error is displayed in the Windows 11 PC when trying to enroll using the Company Portal method.
Something went wrong – Your account was not set up on this device because device management could not be enabled. This device might not access some resources, such as Wi-Fi, VPN, email.
The error code shown in the company portal is 80180003. The Server message is important here – The user is not authorized to enroll in Mobile Device Management (MDM). Try again or contact the system administrator.
This error means something to do with the policy restriction set up in Intune MEM portal. We will see more about this in the below section.
Intune MDM Enrollment from Personal Device
I’ve configured MDM auto-enrollment from Intune. As per my understanding, this is applicable only for Azure AD joined devices, and personal devices are always Azure AD registered devices. Hence MDM auto-enrollment policies are not applicable there. Let me know in the comments if this understanding is wrong!
You can navigate to Devices – Enroll Devices – Automatic Enrollment from the General section to check these settings. But this is not applicable for personal devices (non-Azure AD joined).
