Windows Intune helps you manage computers from almost anywhere. It delivers cloud-based management and security capabilities through a single web-based administrative console.
The Windows Intune administrator console organizes management tasks into the following workspaces. You can manage all these workspaces from almost any browser that supports Microsoft Silverlight.
- System Overview workspace provides a starting point for assessing the overall health of computers across your organization, identifying issues, and performing basic management tasks such as creating computer groups and viewing reports.
- Computers workspace is used to create and manage computer groups, for ease and flexibility of management.
- Updates workspace is used to administer the software update process efficiently for all the managed computers in your organization. The Windows Intune administrator console supports and encourages best practices for update management and lets you focus on your environment and the tasks that you have to perform.
- Endpoint Protection helps enhance the security of managed computers in your organization by providing real-time protection against potential threats, keeping malicious software definitions up-to-date, and automatically running scans.
- Alerts workspace is used to quickly assess the overall health of managed computers in your organization. Alerts let you identify potential or current problems and take action accordingly to prevent or minimize negative effects on business operations.
- Software workspace lists programs that are installed on all client computers that you are managing by using Windows Intune and lets you sort the inventory by software publisher, name, installation count, or category.
- Licenses workspace lets you upload Microsoft Software License Terms information to Microsoft Volume License Services and lets you determine the license entitlement that corresponds to a set of Microsoft Volume License agreements.
- Policy workspace is used to configure Windows Intune policies that manage settings for Updates, Endpoint Protection, Windows Firewall, and Windows Intune Center on computers. You can create policies based on templates, configure policy settings, and then deploy policies to groups of computers.
- Reports workspace is used to obtain more detailed reports and print or export the information. The Reports workspace provides reports for updates, software, and licensing.
- Administration workspace lets you download the most current version of the client software, view details about your Windows Intune account (such as account name, status, and active seat count), and add administrators to your account.
