Intune Admin Center Allowing Duplicate Policy Names - Needs Attention
In the Intune Admin Center, including Configuration Profiles, Compliance Policies, Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) Policies, PowerShell Scripts and Remediations, Windows Autopilot Device Preparation, and Windows Autopilot Deployment Profiles, etc., I observed that the portal currently allows duplicate names for policies and profiles.
For example, I'm able to create two Settings Catalog profiles with the exact same name, such as "ABC", even when the settings configured were identical or overlapping. This behaviour is consistent across other configuration types as well. This issue is affecting all device platforms (Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, Android).
In my opinion, Intune should prevent duplicate names for better management, clarity, and to reduce the risk of confusion or misconfiguration, especially in environments with multiple administrators. A unique name validation mechanism would enhance usability and help maintain policy hygiene.
