Device management in Microsoft Intune - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn
After devices enroll in Microsoft Intune, you manage them from the Devices area of the Microsoft Intune admin center. From one place, you can review the devices in your organization, inspect the information Intune collects from each one, run remote actions, deploy scripts, monitor health through reports, and connect Intune to other services.
This article introduces the Devices area and explains how its sections are organized, so you know where to go for a given task. For step-by-step guidance, follow the links to the detailed articles in each section.
Find your managed devices
To view the devices you manage, sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center and select Devices > All devices. The All devices list shows every enrolled device, along with key columns such as operating system, ownership, compliance state, and last check-in. You can filter and sort the list, or select a platform-specific view (for example, Windows) to narrow the results.
Select any device in the list to open its device details page.
Understand the device page
When you select a device, its Overview page opens with a command bar of device actions, an Essentials summary of key identifiers (compliance state, ownership, model, OS, serial number, Intune device name, scope tags, and primary user), and these tabs:
- Monitor — the status of the device's configuration policies, compliance, managed apps, and Endpoint Analytics score.
- Properties — the settings you can edit. See Edit device properties.
- Device details — read-only hardware and inventory information. See View device details.
- Device action status — the requested, in-progress, and recently completed device actions for the device.
A navigation pane provides more views, grouped under Tools (such as device inventory, device query, BitLocker recovery keys, and remediations) and Reports (such as discovered apps, app configuration, device compliance, device configuration, and managed apps).
Sections of the Devices area
The Devices area organizes device management into the following sections.
Device actions
Respond to devices remotely, without physical access—wipe or retire a lost device, sync policies, restart, run a malware scan, rotate recovery keys, and more. Available actions depend on the platform and ownership. For the full list, see Device actions.
Device inventory and organization
Review the data Intune collects from each device, and organize your devices for management:
- View device details and hardware inventory.
- View ChromeOS device information.
- Edit device properties, such as ownership, notes, and scope tags.
- Rename a device.
- Change a device's primary user.
- Create and assign device categories.
- Manage specialty devices.
Scripts and remediations
Extend management beyond built-in settings by running your own code on managed devices. Use the Intune Management Extension to add PowerShell scripts for Windows or shell scripts for macOS, and use remediations to detect and fix issues at scale.
Reports
Monitor the health, compliance, and activity of your devices. Start with the reports overview or export report data by using Graph APIs.
Integrations
Connect Intune to other services and tools, including the Surface Management Portal, ServiceNow, and TeamViewer. \ No newline at end of file
