Navigate to the Enrollment Section in the Devices Experience
The Enrollment section under the Devices node provides a centralised location for configuring device onboarding across multiple platforms. From this page, administrators can access enrollment settings for Windows, Apple, and Android devices, as well as manage Corporate Device Identifiers, Device Enrollment Managers (DEM), and enrollment monitoring.
Manage Device Configuration Policies in the Devices Experience
The Configuration section under the Devices node provides a centralised workspace for creating, managing, and monitoring device configuration policies in Microsoft Intune. From this page, administrators can create new configuration profiles, import ADMX templates to manage Group Policy settings, and monitor the deployment status of existing policies.
Manage Device Compliance Policies in the Devices Experience
The Compliance section under the Devices node provides a centralized location for creating, managing, and monitoring device compliance policies in Microsoft Intune. From this workspace, administrators can configure Compliance Policies, manage Notifications, Retire Noncompliant Devices, customize Compliance Settings, run Scripts, and monitor policy deployment and compliance status.
Manage Windows Updates from the Unified Devices Workspace
The Windows updates section under the Devices node provides a centralized workspace for managing Windows Update for Business policies in Microsoft Intune. Administrators can configure and monitor Releases, Update Rings, Feature Updates, Quality Updates, and Driver Updates from a single location.
The redesigned interface also includes a dedicated Monitor tab that provides deployment status, update progress, and policy health, helping IT administrators efficiently manage Windows update deployments while ensuring devices remain secure and up to date.
Review Apple Update Policies in the Devices Experience
The Apple updates (deprecated) section under the Devices node displays legacy update policies for iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices that were previously used to manage Apple software updates in Microsoft Intune. Microsoft has deprecated these legacy update policies, meaning administrators can no longer create new policies using this experience.
Manage Windows 365 Cloud PCs from the Unified Devices Workspace
The Cloud PC Overview section under the Devices node provides a centralised workspace for managing Windows 365 devices in Microsoft Intune. Administrators can access Cloud PC Overview, Monitor Cloud PCs (Preview), All Cloud PCs, All Cloud Apps, Provision Cloud PCs, and Cloud PC Settings from a single location.
Organise Devices with Device Clean-up Rules
The Device clean-up rules section under the Devices node helps administrators automatically remove stale or inactive devices from the Microsoft Intune admin center. You can create clean-up rules based on device inactivity to delete Intune records for devices that have not checked in within a specified number of days.
The redesigned interface provides options to create, refresh, export, and customise the view using Columns, making it easier to manage existing clean-up rules. Keeping the device inventory free of obsolete records improves visibility, simplifies administration, and ensures reports accurately reflect active managed devices.
Access Help and Support from the Devices Workspace
The Help and support section under the Devices node provides administrators with quick access to Microsoft support resources for resolving Intune and device management issues. From this centralised page, you can browse support topics, find troubleshooting guidance, and create support requests for Microsoft Intune or Configuration Manager (Tenant Attach) scenarios.
