Use Microsoft Copilot in Intune to troubleshoot devices

Microsoft Security Copilot is a generative-AI security analysis tool that can help your organization get information quickly. Copilot is built into Microsoft Intune. It can help IT admins manage and troubleshoot devices.

Copilot uses your Intune data. Admins can only access the data that they have permissions to, which includes the role based access control (RBAC) roles and scope tags assigned to them. For more information, see Copilot in Intune FAQ.

With Copilot in Intune, you can:

  • Get more information about a specific device, including installed apps, group membership, and more.
  • Compare devices to see the similarities and differences between them, like the compliance policies, hardware, and device configurations assigned to both devices.
  • Use the error analyzer prompt to enter an error code, get more information about the error, and get a possible resolution.

This article describes how to use Copilot to manage and troubleshoot device issues in Intune.

Before you begin

Use a suggested prompt

To troubleshoot devices, you can use Copilot Chat to get more information about a device. For example, you can get a list of installed apps, compare devices, and get information about an error code.

The prompts include:

  • Summarize this device.
  • Analyze an error code.
  • Compare this device with another device.
  • Show apps on this device.
  • Show policies on this device.
  • Show group memberships.
  • Show the primary user of this device.

As you type your question in Copilot Chat, an intelligent search matches your request to available prompts built into Intune. These prompts are shown as suggestions that you can select. You can also ask questions about a Microsoft Surface device, or troubleshoot issues in a Windows 365 Cloud PC.
