Hi there,
Currently, Intune does not support "Remote lock" feature for Windows devices. Just wondering, if Microsoft (Intune Team) is working on or considering implementing it in future updates.
Thanks.- mdmudassir

Remote Lock isn’t supported for Windows in Intune yet, but we’re always open to feedback and exploring new features. It is in our radar, though no additional details to share just yet. Feel free to share your detailed use case here: aka.ms/IntuneFeedback.

Hi, do you know what is the usual time delay for the different defender channels?
Manage the gradual rollout process for Microsoft Defender updates - Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Microsoft Learn
We want to start using the channels to test/validate the updates before they're released to everyone, but we don't know how long we have between each channel so we know we have x hours/days before we can try to stop the updates from getting installed.

hi lalanc01
Thanks for the question and feedback.
We do have some more information about safe rollout here: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint’s Safe Deployment Practices
Channels to define the cadence in which it receives SIUs (formerly referred to as signature, definition, or daily updates). That is a monthly process.Security intelligence updates gradual release cycle occurs multiple times a day.

Is there any plan to integrate/create resolutions for incidents or CVEs in Defender directly in Intune?
- ImranInspired
Microsoft
Hi Anup_Shetty
By integrating Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with Microsoft Intune, you can utilize Defender's threat and vulnerability management through Intune security tasks. This integration allows Intune admins to understand and address current vulnerabilities based on guidance from Defender for Endpoint, enhancing the discovery, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities across your environment. Here is a doc to help: Use Intune to remediate vulnerabilities found by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Microsoft Learn
Hope this helps!
So, if Intune is not available, we can manage MDE policies through the MDE portal for workgroup devices, right?
- Per-Larsen
Microsoft
For devices that are MDE but not enrolled in Intune - you can use both the MDE portal and the Intune portal.
So for workgroup devices you can create policies for workgroup devices.
