Note: machines and users may be added to groups to manage the deployment.

Deployment and Sync

Intune will automatically sync the TraitWare Endpoint agent to the selected machines and users from the above steps. The time it takes Intune to run a sync can vary depending on many factors.  Often, a restart of the machine will initiate a sync. A sync can also be triggered manually by device or across multiple devices.

Bulk Device Sync

Navigate to Devices>Windows. Click Bulk device actions. 

Select Windows, Physical devices, and Sync from the dropdown menus. Click Next at the bottom of the screen (not pictured).

Confirm the devices to sync. Click Next.

Review all settings and click Create.

Note: it may take time to sync to the user devices. A restart of the devices may prompt the sync to happen faster.

Single Device Sync

Navigate to Devices and Windows. Select a single device from the list of devices to sync.

Select Sync.

Select Yes to initiate the sync to the single device.

Note: it may take time to sync to the user device. A restart of the device may prompt the sync to happen faster.
