- UpNorthIntuneIron ContributorCould this be used to detect/report hardware changes to devices? For fault finding purposes.
- IntunestuffBrass ContributorCan we still join the (private) preview?

Private previews are generally closed and by invite only based on a few factors. The best bet for participation in some private previews is to join and engage in the Microsoft Custom Connection Program: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/join-the-windows-customer-connection-program/ba-p/3473775. Note that we (Intune) generally don't do public preview anymore.
- matt91070Brass ContributorCan we collect about Programs, and version to manage the vulnerability?
- CBowen864Copper ContributorWill this data be available in MS graph and can it be used to create dynamic groups?
- matt91070Brass ContributorAny ETA ? and does this feature help with Hybrid environment?

Hi Matt Aljanabi. Soon, and yes (from memory) hybrid joined devices are fully supported (hopefully you have a plan to move your device estate to Entra joined through attrition though).
- MichaelS1945Copper ContributorWhen will filters / Entra ID groups be able to be created based on attributes from device inventory?

Hi Michael Stanton. We don't have a timeline to share on this at this time.
- ercgoodmanBrass ContributorCan we build dynamic groups based on this new inventory data? If so, how?
- Ali11CHIron ContributorWill you be able to create Dynamic groups based on device inventory queries?

Hi Alastair Smith. No. Entra has no knowledge of device inventory information collected by Intune and there's no path (today at least) for this. However, our intent is to enable filters within Intune with the ability to leverage collected inventory information. Development of this is still on the drawing board though so not much more to share.
- VaishnavK1993Brass ContributorCurrently, only a few attributes have been announced (Disk, CPU, System, Bitloker, etc.). What and all new attributes will be available soon?
- michaelfrank85Brass ContributorWith most of the Information accessible via this feature. What is the advantage in having "advanced analytics" in the intune suite? Realtime query or more?

Hey there Michael-- Advanced Analytics allows for realtime querying, multi-device querying, anomaly detection, detailed resource and battery health reporting, and more. You can only view this information in the scope of a single device with device inventory.
