Device Categories was already in use in our intune for windows / MACs so need to setup device cats for iOS/android devices. Its also easier for users to select the cat and then the apps and wallpaper etc is deployed to them. We can then also see the device in each cat easily via the filters.

ok, but what if they choose wrong category then?
Why not use different enrollment profiles and then filter your apps and policies on that in Intune? your deployments will be much faster and more reliable.

    NeilPD Another way to look at this without using device categories.. Group tags can be used to tag machines from the Device Registration page. You can use different enrollment profiles as MMelkersen_MVP mentioned that's assigned to Group Rag based Dynamic AAD Device groups.
    Also same AAD groups can be used to deploy Apps and device profiles if needed.

     

    Cheers!

      Yeah can see how that works. Just seems odd that this function isn't in Intune.

       

      Migrating from AirWatch MDM to Intune seems like always finding things that you would expect as standard and it not being there. Not saying that Intune is bad, but just like changing to anything new and working my way through.
