Managing a large fleet of devices can be challenging, but Intune Device Categories offer a solution.

How Intune Device Categories Work

Device Categories allow you to organize your devices based on specific criteria, making it easier to target and manage groups of devices more effectively.

Creating and Assigning Device Categories

In the Intune console, you can create custom device categories that best suit your organization’s needs. You can then assign these categories to devices during enrollment or manually later.

Prompt Users During Enrollment

Configure enrollment settings to prompt users for category selection, ensuring accurate categorization from the start.

Using Dynamic Groups for Auto-Assignment

Create dynamic groups based on device categories and leverage them to auto-assign devices to relevant categories as new devices join your fleet.

Targeting Policies and Apps with Categories

Use device categories to scope policies and apps, ensuring they are applied only to the intended devices, reducing management overhead and improving security.

Example Commands

// Example PowerShell command for creating a new device category
New-MdmDeviceCategory -Name 'New Category'
