Event details
The "sync" button for devices in the Intune Admin Center and for users in Company Portal feels like it should review app assignments and platform scripts, but it doesn't. These are only evaluated based on a poller timer in the IME, every 1 hour for apps and every 8 hours for platform and remediation scripts.
Having the IME be responsive to the Sync action would more accurately align with what administrators and end users expect to happen when they press the Sync button. Are there plans to work towards this?

jbennett , I don't know if we'll specifically solve this by using the Sync button that is primarily around an MDE device checkin, but we do want to either make all app deployments much more predictable and faster so that kind of button isn't needed, or for troubleshooting cases enable an "install now" type action. I don't have any timelines for that, but your feedback helps us prioritize and ensure we have the right sceanrios in mind. Thank you.
