Terms in this definition
- Intune
Microsoft's device management service, once branded Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Its compliance policies are what the compliant-device grant in Conditional Access relies on.
- Custom profile
When Intune has no built-in setting for what you need, this kind of profile fills the gap: Windows and Android take OMA-URI entries, while Apple devices take a file made in Apple Configurator.
- PATH
Parent-child hierarchies in DAX rely on this function. For each row it builds one delimited text value listing the IDs of the row's ancestors, top level first and ending with the row's own ID, which PATHITEM, PATHLENGTH and friends can then pick apart.
- CSP
The interface through which Windows device settings are read, changed, set or removed. Intune and other MDM services send these settings in SyncML, and a custom profile reaches them by OMA-URI.
Related terms
- MDM
Mobile device management: a service such as Microsoft Intune controlling the settings, security and apps of enrolled devices. Intune can push Defender configuration this way using Policy CSP and OMA-URI.
