ALVAO Microsoft Intune Connector

This module imports information on devices from Microsoft Intune to Alvao. It can also import information on devices from Configuration Manager (formerly Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager - MS SCCM).

Installation

To set up the connector for an ALVAO SaaS subscription, please contact the ALVAO technical support team.

To set up the connector for an on-premise installation, see Installation.

Download

Download the Object Intune certified application.

Importing information from Intune

The connector periodically reads the information in Intune and updates the corresponding objects representing the devices in Alvao.

When the import is running for the first time, Alvao objects are paired with Intune devices by the BIOS SN or Hostname object property in the case of computers, or by the IMEI property in the case of cellular phones (object type = Cellular phone). If no Alvao object is found for a given hostname, or IMEI respectively, a new Alvao object is created in the Imported objects folder in the object tree. Check the folder regularly, change the type of newly created objects if necessary, and move the objects to appropriate places in the object tree.

For all objects paired with a device in Intune, the connector sets the Intune device ID object property and uses the property instead of the Hostname property.

In the Intune last check-in property, you will find the date and time when Intune last updated the device information.

The connector can update the following object properties:

Computer
- BIOS serial number
- Hostname
- MAC addresses
- Manufacturer
- Model
- Operating system
- RAM size (GB)
- Serial number
- Total storage capacity (GB)
- User (UPN)
Cellular phone
- IMEI
- MAC addresses
- Manufacturer
- Model
- Name
- Operating system
- RAM size (GB)
- Serial number
- Total storage capacity (GB)
- User (UPN)

Manually change the template of an object

When the Intune connector is run for the first time, it automatically modifies the object templates and adds the necessary properties for these templates:

[default computer type]
Computer/desktop
Computer/notebook
Cellular phone
Tablet

If you need to change the object type to a different object type (that does not have the necessary properties):

First, edit the template of this object type and add the necessary properties to it (see the list of imported properties by object type above).
then change the object type

Importing information from Configuration Manager

The connector doesn't create new Alvao objects for new devices in Configuration Manager. It performs HW and SW detections. To use it, plan detections using the MS SCCM detection method.
