This all feels cart before the horse. We’ve got AI, how can we use that in Intune? As an example, you are pushing it to do reporting. In most cases reports are “static”, we run them every week, I don’t want or need generative ai to do such reporting. I do want good quality build it reports, and tooling to modify such reports. AI is not a golden bullet to fill in gaps in the current tooling, poor UI choices, or missing reports. There are so many gaps and opportunities to improve Intune, the core product, and only few of these require any kind of AI. I get you want to sell me the new shiny, extract more cash, but Microsoft seem to be neglecting good old fashioned product design and engineering. Why are there 2 Autopilots? Why aren’t there proper reliable Secure Boot reports for the new certs? Built in policy to push deployment? Yes, there are some secure boot tools coming, but they are buggy and months late to the party. Why is the device inventory information not available in reports or accessible through graph? Why are there no built in conflict discovery and remediation tooling built in?
Specifically for the Autopilot question:
There are currently two provisioning approaches available within Autopilot, designed for different deployment scenarios. I'll explain quickly below, but I recommend reading more here: Deep dive into Windows Autopilot
- Autopilot device preparation – the newer user-driven experience designed to simplify setup and reduce deployment complexity
- Autopilot – the original experience needed for scenarios like pre-provisioning, self-deploying, or hybrid join
