- RichP1930Brass ContributorWill there be a way to query a device to see if it's a new Autopilot device that has never been OOBE'd so reporting can exclude those devices i.e Autopatch reporting
- pjmarcum410Occasional ReaderThis quite easy. We do it today in BI For Intune.

Hi Rich Peliel. Why would you want to exclude this device? If it's managed by Intune, why does its provisioning method alter how you want to manage it?- RichP1930Brass ContributorThe device is stored in a stockroom and not in use we don't want autopatch to mark the device as not registered if it's in storage or be able to at least identify those devices, so management understand that does devices are not in use
- lucasszczesnyCopper ContributorWill this offer the ability to track warranty expiration on laptops & desktops, etc?
- Abby_Starr
Microsoft
Hey Lucas-- warranty expiration will not be in our initial release. We love the feature request though, and we've been discussing how to add this to the release timeline in the future.
- nx9010Copper ContributorWill be possible to retrieve inventory information by using Graph API to automate actions?
- Abby_Starr
Microsoft
Hey Bruno-- GraphAPI support is not in scope for this feature for the near future.
- BhaskarC140Copper ContributorWe always find scenarios where SCCM database and Intune database (Co-management) dont match because of xx number of reasons. Any plan to have a better insight reporting around inventory?
- Abby_Starr
Microsoft
Hey Bhaskar-- the release of device inventory and multi device query won't come with improvements to reporting, but it's definitely something we're thinking about and working towards.

With Single Device Query under Advanced Analytics, there is real-time data query capability. What about the real-time-ness of the upcoming Multi Device Query?- Abby_Starr
Microsoft
Hey David-- our initial release of Multi Device Query will not support realtime querying. This is partially to keep the admin from calling up a large number of devices and potentially impacting device perf. It's on our support timeline though!
- lgardelleCopper ContributorWhat is the best way to remove a terminated user's device from Intune inventory? Retire or Delete?
- Jason_Sandys
Microsoft
Delete should only be used for device's that are known to be stale and/or not exist anymore.
- MP_35Brass ContributorWill the limit of one Intune filter per assignment group be expanded?
- Jason_Sandys
Microsoft
Hi Michael Perez. At this time, there's nothing to share on changes or improvements to filters although clearly as we add value to filters we need to evaluate making improvements.
- lucasszczesnyCopper ContributorWhat's the target date for the next release? very curious about Mac Support
- MP_35Brass ContributorWill Intune filter limit of 200 be expanded?
