This post covers the installation of the Windows Intune client and outlines for what kind of businesses Microsoft's cloud-based systems management solution is suitable.

Windows Intune Client
The easiest way to install the client agent on a PC is to download the 14 MB zip file from the console; save it in a network share or on a USB stick and then install it manually.
