Microsoft Intune
Notes on managing devices in the cloud: Autopilot automation, policy CSP settings, and Win32 application deployment, written from hands-on administration work.
What this category covers
Intune sits alongside ConfigMgr in the same working environment, so the posts here tend to follow the practical questions that come up when devices are enrolled and managed from the cloud.
Autopilot automation
Working with Autopilot connectors and the automation around device provisioning, including Microsoft Graph based approaches.
Policy CSP settings
Configuring device behaviour through policy settings rather than local changes, and checking what actually lands on the endpoint.
Win32 application deployment
Packaging and delivering Win32 applications to managed devices, with attention to detection and install behaviour.
Cloud management, next to ConfigMgr
Much of the writing on this site starts with a ConfigMgr task and ends up in the cloud. Intune posts follow the same pattern: a concrete problem, the settings or scripts involved, and the result.

Cloud device management has become a natural extension of the traditional ConfigMgr workflow, and the posts gathered here follow that same practical thread. Enrolment is only the beginning; the real work lies in shaping policy so that devices stay compliant without getting in the way of the people using them. Configuration service provider settings, compliance rules, and application delivery all reward careful planning and patient testing before anything reaches a wider group. Readers will find notes written from hands-on administration rather than theory, covering the questions that tend to surface once a pilot grows into a real deployment and the small details start to matter.
Automation is where much of the day-to-day value sits, particularly when provisioning is driven through connectors and scripted approaches built on Microsoft Graph. Pairing those cloud tools with the familiar ground of task sequences, PowerShell, and Windows deployment keeps a mixed environment coherent, so on-premises and cloud-managed devices can be handled with the same discipline. Troubleshooting is treated as part of the craft rather than an afterthought, with attention to logs, policy conflicts, and the quieter failures that only appear after a device has been in service for a while. The aim throughout is a steady, repeatable process that admins can trust.
