Intune’s One Unified Experience | Cross Platform Parity | Unified Hardware Inventory #msintune
In today's workplace, you have devices everywhere. Macs, Androids, iPhones, and Windows... all critical to your business. But managing them all? That can be complex. Microsoft Intune is changing the game by creating one unified experience to manage every single endpoint."
First up, a truly unified hardware inventory. Previously, getting detailed hardware information was a challenge for non-Windows devices. Now, Intune collects 74 new hardware properties for Apple devices and 32 new properties for Android. This isn't just basic information. We're talking about critical asset data like serial numbers and detailed SIM card info, like the ICCID and phone number, all pulled automatically.
Next, let's talk about getting devices ready from Day Zero. Android Enterprise has long enjoyed instant setup, but iOS onboarding could face delays waiting for policies to apply. That gap is now closed. With Enrollment Time Grouping for iOS and iPadOS, you can assign a device to a specific group right at the moment of enrollment. No more waiting for dynamic groups to update. This means critical security policies and essential apps are applied immediately and reliably, achieving true onboarding parity.
"Finally, keeping your device list clean and secure just got more powerful. Tenant hygiene is crucial. Microsoft is introducing platform-specific device cleanup rules. You can now set distinct, automatic rules for how long an inactive device stays in your system, for each platform—Windows, Android, iOS, and more. The key enhancement? Granular delegation. You can give your Windows team control over only the Windows cleanup rules, and your mobile team control over theirs. This empowers the right teams to manage their devices without granting excessive permissions.
