How do I check MDM diagnostic logs?

MDM diagnostic is a command line tool that collates Windows autopilot-related events. The majority of Windows autopilot-related events, registries and logs are consolidated into a single folder or file. This technique helps admins to focus on the core issue to troubleshoot any error.

What happens when you delete a device in Intune?

Once you delete a device in Intune, it gets removed from the company portal, and the application is uninstalled. As you cannot install apps from the company portal, you will lose access to all your work apps and data. However, it will no longer require changes to device settings like disabling the camera.
