Microsoft Intune Properties catalog is designed to collect enhanced device inventory from Intune managed devices. When enabled, device inventory collects additional hardware properties from managed devices. To use inventory, the device must be corporate owned, managed by Intune, and Microsoft Entra joined. The device inventory is available with Intune core plan and no additional licensing is required.
The following hardware properties are currently supported.
- Battery
- Bios Info
- CPU
- Disk Drive
- Encryptable Volume
- Logical Drive
- Network Adapter
- System Enclosure
- Video Controller
- Windows Qfe
You can see the properties for an individual device from the device resource explorer accessible from Devices > Windows > Device Name > Resource explorer blade.

When configuration for the device inventory is in place, a new inventory agent, the Microsoft Device inventory Agent, gets installed on the device. You can see a service with the same name in the Services console. You can also find a folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Inventory Agents. The log files can be found under the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Inventory Agents\Logs folder. You can review the log file to identify the issue related to device inventory. The logs are also collected as part of Diagnostics logs.
