    More of an Android related question but are there any plans to make the "Built-in Device Compliance Policy" either optional or more fine grained? Our in-house compliance policies report out of compliance device via email to the end user and our service desk but it would be great to have this utility for inactive devices also.

    Would like to have a discussion concerning software metering. As we all know SCOM (formerly SCCM) deprecated Asset Intelligence a few years back. Will we see that functionality it provided in Intune?

      Hi Van_Hallman. Today, there is nothing funded for a fully equivalent Software Metering capability within Intune although it is a frequent ask that we are investigating on how best to bring to the product. In general, the actual requirement that we hear about is centered on licensing reconciliation and/or reclamation. Is this also your core requirement or is there another requirement that you are looking to fulfill? As an aside and for clarity, SCOM and ConfigMgr are not and never were the same product. SCOM is/was Operations Manager and SCCM (sic) is Configuration Manager aka ConfigMgr. Also, the Software Metering functionality in ConfigMgr was not part of Asset Intelligence; Asset Intelligence did add a layer of reporting on top of some data collection activity including Software Metering though, but none of this was included in what was deprecated.
