Microsoft Intune environments tend to grow over time. New policies are created, applications are added, security settings evolve, administrators change, and Microsoft continues to introduce new management capabilities.
The environment may be working well, but that does not always mean it is configured as efficiently, securely, or simply as it could be.
Our Microsoft Intune Assessment provides an independent technical review of your existing Intune environment. Our consultants review the configuration, identify potential issues and opportunities for improvement, and provide a prioritized list of recommendations based on your current environment.
The goal is not to redesign everything. It is to understand what you have today, identify what should be improved, and provide your IT team with a clear roadmap for the next steps.
The assessment reviews the main components involved in managing your Windows endpoints with Microsoft Intune. The exact scope can be adjusted depending on your environment, requirements, and technologies currently in use.
We review how devices are enrolled and managed in Intune, including:
The objective is to make sure devices are entering Intune through the expected process and are receiving the correct management configuration.
For organizations using Windows Autopilot, we review the complete provisioning process, including:
We also look for configurations that may be slowing down provisioning or creating unnecessary deployment failures.
Configuration profiles are often one of the areas where an Intune environment becomes complicated over time.
We review:
The goal is to identify overlapping configurations and simplify the environment where possible.
Security is an important part of the assessment.
Depending on the technologies in use, we review areas such as:
We identify security gaps and configuration issues while also considering the operational impact of recommended changes.
Our objective is not simply to enable every available security setting. Recommendations need to make sense for your users, applications, and business requirements.
Compliance policies are most useful when they are part of a complete access strategy.
We review:
We also verify that devices marked as non-compliant are handled according to the organization’s security requirements.
Application deployment can represent a significant part of the Intune administrative workload.
We review areas such as:
We can also identify opportunities to simplify application packaging and automate third-party application updates.
We review how Windows updates are managed across the environment, including:
The objective is to determine whether the current update configuration provides the right balance between control, user experience, and administrative effort.
A well-configured policy can still create problems if it is assigned incorrectly.
We review how Intune policies and applications are targeted using:
We look for unnecessary complexity and recommend a more consistent assignment strategy when appropriate.
Administrative access should provide IT staff with the permissions they need without giving unnecessary access to the entire Intune environment.
We review:
This can help identify excessive permissions and improve the separation of administrative responsibilities.
We also review how the organization monitors the health of its managed devices and Intune deployments.
This can include:
The objective is to make sure administrators can easily identify problems and understand the overall health of the environment.
One of the biggest benefits of an Intune Assessment is identifying configuration that has accumulated over time.
It is common to find:
These configurations do not always create an immediate problem, but they make Intune harder to understand and troubleshoot.
Cleaning up technical debt can make future projects and day-to-day administration much easier.
At the end of the assessment, our consultants provide a documented review of the environment along with practical recommendations.
The deliverables typically include:
Recommendations are prioritized so your team can understand what should be addressed first instead of receiving a long list of unrelated findings.
An Intune Assessment can be useful if:
You do not need to wait until something is broken.
An assessment can be just as valuable when everything appears to be working but your team wants confirmation that the environment is structured correctly.
An assessment is especially useful before an SCCM to Intune migration.
Migrating workloads does not necessarily mean recreating everything currently configured in Configuration Manager.
It is often a good opportunity to review existing processes, applications, configurations, security policies, and deployment methods before moving them to Intune.
This helps avoid migrating years of technical debt into the new environment and gives the migration project a cleaner starting point.
System Center Dudes consultants work every day with Microsoft endpoint management technologies, including Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager, Windows Autopilot, Microsoft Defender, application deployment, and Windows management.
Our assessment is performed from an operational perspective.
We look at the environment the same way we would if we had to manage it ourselves:
Is the configuration clear? Is it secure? Is it easy to troubleshoot? Is there unnecessary complexity? What would we improve first?
The objective is not to generate unnecessary work or recommend rebuilding an environment that is already working.
It is to provide an experienced second opinion and help your team identify the improvements that will provide the most value.
Whether you are preparing for a major project or simply want to validate your current Intune configuration, our consultants can help you understand where your environment stands today and what should be improved next.
