Today we are discussing How Intune Manages Change Tracking with Changes in Devices Check-ins Device Remediation and Applicable Devices. We know the importance of online purchasing, right? When you a place online order you will get a tracking number and also when the order got delayed you will get notified.

Managing devices in Microsoft Intune should be transparent. When a configuration change or policy update is made, you should have clear insight throughout the delivery to each targeted device. Transparency in Intune means clearly visible each step of a change from when it’s created to when it’s delivered and how it applied on devices.

It helps track which devices are affected, where the change is, and if anything is delayed or not working. The main goal is to make it easier to manage and monitor updates. When each step is visible, it’s very easy to fix issues, make sure changes are delivered, and keep devices secure and up to date.

Here, we got to know which devices need changes and also, when a policy or setting is updated in Intune, the system checks which devices are affected and these are called applicable devices. So, in this post let’s look how to New Standard of Transparency in Intune Device Management.

Above we discussed a lot of things about the New Standard of Transparency in Intune Device Management. Sometimes, many updates are happening at the same time in an organization. Intune works in the background to organize them and decide which ones to send first.

  • After that, it sends the updates to the devices using their platforms, like Windows or macOS.
  • These systems help deliver the changes directly to each device.
