Common Causes of Intune Enrollment Error 80180014

Several factors can trigger this error during Windows Autopilot enrollment. Here’s the possible factors and solutions to fix the Intune Error 80180014

Check if device is Corporate or Personnal Owned

If the device is either synced from local AD, is an autopilot device or has its serial number entered in the corporate device identifier it will be marked as corporate

This is important because if you are blocking the enrollment of personnal device (see next point) which is recommended, your enrollment will fail with error 80180014 if it’s marked as Personnal

To check device’s ownership :

• Go to Intune Admin Center.
• Navigate to Devices > Windows devices
• Check if the Ownership status is set to Corporate.
• If it’s listed as Personal, manually change it or import the device using Windows Autopilot Device Import.

Enrollment Restrictions Blocking Personally Owned Devices

If personally owned devices are restricted in Intune’s Device Enrollment Restrictions, enrollement process will fail if the device is not recognized as corporate-owned.

• Go to Microsoft Intune Admin Center
• Go to Devices / Enrollment / Enrollment Device Platform Restrictions
• Check your Device type restrictions policy
• If necessary, modify the settings to allow personally owned devices.

User enrolling the device has reach its enrollment limit

A standard nonadmin account can only enroll 15 devices in your Tenant by default. At its 16th enrollment the user will get the Intune Error 80180014.

• Go to Device / Enrollment / Device Limit Restriction

• Check the settings that is configured, modify if needed. It cannot be more than 15 devices. If you are a user enrolling lots of devices, consider adding your user to the Device Enrollement Manager (see next bullet)

To add your user to the Device Enrollment Manager :

• Go to Device / Enrollment / Device Enrollment Managers

• Add your user there. A DEM account can enroll and manage up to 1,000 devices, while a standard nonadmin account can only enroll 15.

Ensure that you have an Intune License

The user must have a valid Microsoft Intune license assigned. Without it, device enrollment will not proceed and gives Intune Error 80180014.

• Go to Users / [Selected User] / Licenses

Device Already Enrolled in Another MDM Solution

If the device was previously managed by another MDM solution (e.g., another Intune tenant or a third-party MDM like Mosyle, Jamf, or VMware Workspace ONE), it may not be eligible for enrollment in the current Intune tenant. Make sure that you unregister the device from the other MDM solution.

Conclusion

After making the above changes to the device restriction policy, wait for a few minutes. Restart the problematic device, and the Windows Autopilot process should be completed without error 80180014.

Error 80180014 often results from enrollment restrictions, ownership settings, or policy misconfigurations in Intune and Microsoft Entra. By adjusting enrollment policies, verifying user permissions, and ensuring the device is properly registered, administrators can resolve this issue and enable successful Windows Autopilot provisioning.
