Creating a Group based on Processor
In our environment, we have a mixture of personal Windows and Mac laptops. Both of which get a Windows VM to use for company business. Currently, I have a group that puts them in one collection within Intune.
Now I have an application that needs to be installed on the Windows VM's but some are on a Mac OS laptop so it needs an ARM64 installer. I want to separate these devices but don't see how to create a group based on processor.
Anyway to do this?

You can use Filter on Assignment -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/fundamentals/filters-device-properties#device-properties
Right now, Intune/Entra ID doesn’t provide a native attribute for processor architecture (ARM64 vs. x64), so you can’t directly create a dynamic group based on that.
A common workaround is to deploy a script (e.g., using PowerShell) that checks each device’s processor type and then assigns a custom tag or attribute accordingly. Once that’s in place, you can create a dynamic group using this custom attribute.
