What can IT administrators do with the "Device Configuration" profiles?

The ability to create configuration profiles to apply settings and restrictions is a fundamental feature of "Device Configuration" profiles within Microsoft Intune. This allows IT administrators to streamline device management by defining specific settings that govern the behavior of devices enrolled in Intune.

Using device configuration profiles, administrators can enforce security policies, configure Wi-Fi settings, set up VPNs, manage email settings, and apply restrictions to ensure compliance with organizational policies. This centralized management capability enhances security and consistency across devices, ensuring that all enrolled devices adhere to the same standards and configurations set by the IT department.

The other options do not relate directly to the primary purpose of "Device Configuration" profiles. For example, deleting applications, remotely installing third-party applications, and monitoring battery consumption are tasks that are handled through other functionalities within Intune. While they are important for device management, they do not directly pertain to config profiles, which are specifically designed for applying settings and restrictions.
