In Microsoft Intune, a device owner refers to the user or entity that has administrative control over a device. The device owner is typically the primary user of the device and has the ability to: 1. Enroll the device in Intune 2. Configure device settings and policies 3. Install and manage apps 4. Access device information and reports 5. Wipe or retire the device (if necessary) There are two types of device owners in Intune: 1. *Personal device owner*: The user who owns and uses the device for personal and work purposes. 2. *Corporate device owner*: The organization or IT administrator who owns and manages the device for work purposes only. Device ownership is important in Intune because it determines the level of control and access the user or organization has over the device. For example, a corporate device owner may have more control over device settings and policies than a personal device owner. Intune also supports multiple device ownership scenarios, such as: 1. *BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)*: Personal device owners enroll their devices in Intune for work purposes. 2. *COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally-Enabled)*: Corporate device owners provide devices to users for work and personal use. 3. *CYOD (Choose Your Own Device)*: Users select from a range of corporate-owned devices for work purposes. read less

To get a Group Policy Object (GPO) with Microsoft Intune, you need to use the Intune console to create a Device Configuration profile. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center. 2. Go to Devices > Configuration profiles. 3. Click Create profile. 4. Select Windows 10 and later as the platform. 5. Choose Templates or Custom as the profile type. 6. Select Device restrictions or Device configuration as the profile category. 7. Configure the settings you want to apply, such as: - Administrative Templates - Windows Settings - Network Settings - etc. 8. Click Create to save the profile. 9. Assign the profile to a group of devices or users. Note: Intune uses a different approach than traditional Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Instead of using ADMX files, Intune uses a cloud-based configuration service to apply settings to devices. If you want to import existing GPOs into Intune, you can use the Microsoft Intune Group Policy Analytics Tool. This tool helps you: 1. Analyze your existing GPOs. 2. Identify compatible settings. 3. Create equivalent Intune profiles. Keep in mind that not all GPO settings are compatible with Intune. You may need to recreate some settings using Intune's configuration options. read less
