Microsoft Intune policy enforcement on a Windows device

Microsoft Intune helps organizations empower employees to use their devices and apps while ensuring device settings are configured to meet compliance requirements.

While Intune policies propagate to devices rather quickly, sometimes you need to speed up the process of applying a policy to a specific device (especially when setting up a test policy).

To enforce Intune policies on a Windows device, use:

• Company Portal
• Windows account
• Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center
