Overview of Intune Device Management

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). You can control and securely manage how your organization's devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops are used. For example, you can configure settings or policies so as to prevent emails from being sent to people outside your organization.

Manage Intune Devices

Nerdio Manager allows you to manage Intune devices.

To manage Intune devices:

1. At the Account level, navigate to Intune > Devices.

   

2. You can search and filter the list as follows:

   

   • Search by device name or user name.

   • Filter by compliance status.

   • Filter by device type.

3. You can work with the device's properties. See Manage Intune Device Properties below for details.

4. You can perform bulk actions by selecting any or all of the devices. For example, three devices on the list were selected, so the bulk actions options are:

   

5. From the action menu, you can perform various tasks.

   

   Tip: For many tasks, it may take an hour or longer for the action to actually run on the device after you have requested the action from Nerdio Manager. You can follow the status of the task in the Devices Tasks section.
