Intune Device Authentication Flow

Copper Contributor

Microsoft gives me the option to enroll a device only to Intune:

If I enroll the device to Intune a device certificate is created in the certificate store:

This certificate is signed by a generic intermediate CA called "Microsoft Intune MDM Device CA". As far as I know, this CA is not an organisation specific certificate. One thing that left me wondering was how Intune determines that this device belongs to Organisation X and not to Organisation Y. Is the managed device id CN unique for every device in Intune? Or is the managed device id only unique for a specific organisation? Does the certificate contain some identifier that is unique to the organisation (e.g. one of the extensions, please refer to the Figure below) .

How does the device authenticate to Intune? How does Intune know, upon receiving the certificate, that the device belongs to organisation X and not to organisation Y?
