Ignite 2025: Microsoft Intune Adds New Copilot Agents and Enhanced Actions
New Microsoft Intune updates boost security, streamline management, and introduce Copilot-powered automation.
Key Takeaways:
- New Security Copilot agents in Intune aim to simplify workflows, from policy creation to device offboarding.
- Remote Windows recovery at scale is now in preview.
- Enhanced admin controls and Copilot GA bring natural language access, maintenance windows, and flexible update options.
Microsoft Intune is getting several new features aimed at improving endpoint security, management, and recovery. The latest update brings new Security Copilot agents, admin controls, and expanded Copilot support.
Microsoft Intune’s new Security Copilot agents are designed to simplify complex workflows and enhance security by converting requirements into policies, reviewing changes proactively, and identifying devices for removal. The new Change Review Agent is designed to evaluate change requests for risks, conflicts, and compliance. Currently, this agent can only handle Multi-Admin Approval scripts, with support for more types of change requests coming soon.
Additionally, the Policy Configuration Agent can speed up policy creation by interpreting documents or natural language requirements and mapping them to recommended settings. The new Device Offboarding Agent can suggest devices for removal based on activity signals and simplify the offboarding process.
Remote Windows recovery
Microsoft has added support for remote Windows recovery at scale in preview for its Intune solution. This new feature enables large-scale remote management of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). It allows administrators to recover devices even if they cannot boot or if the user is absent.
New admin controls
Microsoft Intune is getting a couple of new administrative controls, including admin tasks. It provides a centralized, prioritized task list for faster vulnerability remediation. This setting is currently available in preview.
Moreover, maintenance windows will offer unified scheduling capabilities for updates to reduce disruption and enhance patch compliance. The new pause and resume options will add flexibility and reduce risk during updates. These new admin controls are expected to be available in January 2026.
Last but not least, Microsoft has announced the general availability of Copilot in Intune for commercial customers. It provides natural language access to more Microsoft Intune data, including Autopilot, Endpoint Privilege Management, and Advanced Analytics. Admins can query data, create groups, and navigate custom views using natural language commands.
