Properties Catalog guidance now documents local AI-agent discovery on Windows

The period was dominated by documentation clarification rather than announced service changes: all 10 records were updates, with no message-center items or explicit GA, preview, retirement, or rollout notice. The strongest changes cover Windows Properties Catalog inventory, advanced-capability trial terms, Apple enrollment-time grouping scope, Azure Monitor export scheduling, and Configuration Manager synchronization status interpretation.

  Windows Properties Catalog article adds local AI-agent discovery

  The updated Intune article now says administrators can use the properties catalog to discover local AI agents, like OpenClaw, running on managed Windows devices. It also reorganizes the available-properties material under “Available and required properties” and points to the Intune Data Platform Schema. The diff documents this capability but does not establish a separate feature launch or required policy change.

  Advanced-capability trial limits are now explicit

  Intune guidance now specifies a 90-day trial, a maximum of 250 users per tenant, one trial per capability per tenant, and a 30-day grace period before the capability becomes unavailable in the admin center. It also tells administrators to review existing licenses and use trials for capabilities not already included. This clarifies licensing and trial documentation rather than announcing new availability.

• Intune · Device enrollment

  Apple grouping guidance now documents only tvOS and visionOS

  The Setup Time Grouping article now lists automated device enrollment only for tvOS and visionOS. It removes the iOS/iPadOS and macOS authentication-support descriptions, related custom-RBAC permission text, the Device group assignment during enrollment section, and links to the iOS/iPadOS and macOS setup pages. This is a documentation scope change; the supplied evidence does not establish whether underlying service support changed.

• Intune · Endpoint analytics

  Azure Monitor guidance rejects fixed export completion times

  The Intune integration guidance now says solutions consuming exported Intune data for reports, dashboards, or automation must account for variable export timing and must not rely on a fixed or previously observed completion time. Administrators should review schedules and automation that assume a predictable export finish; the edit does not define a new export SLA.

• Configuration Manager · General

  Configuration Manager WMI guidance adds WSUS status codes

  The Sms Supsyncstatus Server WMI Class reference now enumerates Last synchronization state values 6702 through 6708, covering success, failure, synchronization phases, upstream content out of sync, and completion with pending license-terms downloads. The added table improves programmatic interpretation of software-update synchronization state and is a reference clarification, not an announced new status.
