Offline Device Check-In:
When a device is booted up and used offline, it does not immediately reach out to check in with Intune.Instead, it waits for the next scheduled check-in based on the configured refresh cycle times.The scheduled check-in ensures that the device receives any pending actions or policies assigned to it.
Forcing a Sync on an Offline Device:
If you manually initiate a sync for a device that is currently offline, the sync request does queue up.When the device next connects to the internet, it will receive the queued sync request and perform the check-in with Intune.Users may see a message like “Trying to sync…” during this process.
