Intune Mobile Device Management

Windows Intune provides “light” device management through Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). The feature includes automated device discovery and the ability to set and deploy device policies (such as passcode required), install line-of-business applications on some devices, and remotely wipe devices if they are lost or stolen. Advantages of light device management are that device management is fairly easy, it works with most devices (because most support some level of EAS functionality), and mobile management is centralized with the management of the organization’s laptops, desktops, and other devices. However, device types support EAS to differing degrees, so what can actually be managed is device dependent. Usually devices that support EAS allow configuration of some settings, such as requiring a device log-in passcode, and most can be remotely wiped.
