Today, we will disuss Troubleshoot and Compare Devices with Intune Copilot Prompt. As you all know, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is important in MS Intune. The policy allows users to use their devices, such as tablets and laptops, to access company resources and data.
We know Copilot’s capability with these devices is very easy. It offers powerful features for comparing devices and resolving compliance issues, which is especially useful for organizations managing BYOD policies. Ensuring compliance across different devices can be challenging.
But Intune Copilot smooths this process by allowing administrators to compare non-compliant devices to compliant ones, identify issues, and take corrective actions to maintain security and compliance. It will also enable administrators to create custom prompts for accessing real-time data, such as network configuration details for specific devices.
When a custom prompt is submitted, Copilot processes the request and delivers the necessary information, enabling administrators to make informed decisions and troubleshoot effectively. In this post, you can see a demo for Comparing Device Issues in a BYOD Environment in Intune with the help of Copilot.

Prompt For Copilot
First, select the “Compare Device” option to compare devices in Intune’s Copilot. Then, enter the name or ID of a device that is functioning correctly. For example, if the device that is working properly is named “CPC-Dean,” type that name into the prompt to initiate the comparison.
After selecting the devices to compare, you will choose the Comaprison Type. Here you have the options for compliance policies, hardware settings, or other features. If you need how the devices follow rules and policies, you would choose to compare the compliance policies.

Copilot Report
Now you can see the copilot result. When you compare the devices, Copilot will generate a detailed report that highlights the differences in compliance policies between the 2 devices. This report helps you identify issues that may be affecting the device.
If the first comparison doesn’t give enough details, you can quickly compare with another device using sameup prompts.
