Unified Endpoint Management: Manage Devices

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). Using Microsoft Intune, you can manage your organization’s devices -mobiles, laptops, tablets, Cloud PCs, and Azure Virtual Desktops.

This feature allows for the management of Intune-enrolled endpoints, including AVD hosts, Windows 365 Cloud PCs, and physical devices.

Manage Intune Devices

  2. You can search and filter the list as follows:

    • Search by device name or user name.

    • Filter by compliance status.
