What is the purpose of a Device Group in Intune?

The primary purpose of a Device Group in Intune is to deploy software and settings to devices. Device Groups allow administrators to organize devices based on specific criteria, such as device type, ownership, or operating system. This organization simplifies management tasks by enabling targeted deployments.

For instance, if a group is created for all Windows 10 devices, an administrator can push software updates, applications, or configuration settings specifically to that group, ensuring that only the relevant devices receive the intended configurations. This targeted approach also helps in managing compliance and security settings effectively across the organization.

By utilizing Device Groups, organizations can streamline their device management processes, ensuring that devices receive the appropriate resources and configurations needed to operate efficiently within the enterprise environment.
