docs: add MDM rollout use case under Use Cases → Deployment

[mlsmaycon]

Why

Our MDM docs are reference pages split by OS and vendor: how to install the client with Intune, Jamf, Kandji, or GPO, and how to enforce settings on Windows and macOS. Nothing walks an IT team through a whole fleet rollout: install, enroll, enforce, update. People have to piece it together across six or more pages.

What

A new use case, Roll Out NetBird Across Your Organization with MDM, at /use-cases/deployment/mdm-rollout, placed under a new Deployment group in the Use Cases sidebar.

The page covers:

• What a manual install looks like.
• Why that does not scale.
• The four-job model: the MDM installs the client and pins its settings, the user signs in once with SSO, and one owner handles updates.
• A short MDM primer, with a table linking each MDM to its existing install and settings guides.
• An end-to-end Intune example for Windows and macOS: pilot group, policy, app deployment, first sign-in, update ownership, verification, and the optional Intune compliance gate.

Click-by-click detail stays on the existing reference pages; this page links to them.

The page reuses existing screenshots. The PR also adds the page to the Use Cases index and links to it from the MDM Integration page.

Notes for reviewers

• Checked against the client source:
  • The welcome screen skips the server prompt when managementURL is pinned by policy, so the page says to assign the policy with or before the app.
  • The macOS PKG opens the app after install. A silent Windows install does not.
  • The MSI gets a new product code on every build. That is why the page says to pick one update owner and set Ignore app version to match.
• Not tested in a live Intune tenant: the macOS app (PKG) app type label, and Ignore app version on macOS apps.
• iOS is left out on purpose. I could not confirm the iOS app ships MDM support yet.
• Follow-up: the existing Intune install guide recommends Ignore app version: No. That conflicts with NetBird updating the client itself. Not changed here.
• Missing screenshots: none exist yet for importing the ADMX templates or creating the configuration profiles. New screenshots there would help most.

Validation

npm run build, npm run lint:mdx, and codespell pass. Every internal link and anchor on the changed pages resolves. I also checked the rendered page in a browser.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds a guide for deploying NetBird to Windows and macOS fleets through an MDM, using Intune as the example. It also adds links to the guide in navigation, use-case content, and client MDM documentation. Intune guidance now describes two update-ownership options.

- Around line 186-195: Update the Intune guide’s Ignore app version setting to
depend on the update owner: retain No when Intune owns updates, and document Yes
with NetBird Automatic Updates enabled when NetBird owns updates. Locate the
setting in the Intune guide and align it with the owner-specific behavior
described in the rollout guidance.
