CSD 2.0 for Microsoft Intune
Summarize
Summary of CSD 2.0 for Microsoft Intune
CSD 2.0 integrates with the Microsoft Intune spoke to streamline software deployment, revocation, and device management within ServiceNow. This integration allows customers to deploy software from service catalog requests, manage user and device assignments on Intune servers, and handle license counts through ServiceNow Software Asset Management. It also supports automated software revocation without user interaction and management of lease periods.

Key Features
- Microsoft Intune spoke activation: Required to connect CSD 2.0 with Intune for software deployment and management tasks.
- AI Agents: Standalone AI agents assist with tasks such as creating and deleting application assignments, managing Intune groups, and handling group membership changes. These agents enable automation and error handling within workflows.
- Agentic Workflows: Combine multiple AI agents and large language model (LLM) instructions to automate complex Microsoft Intune management tasks. Sample agentic workflows are available and can be customized to suit specific requirements.
- Software Model and License Management: Discovered applications from Intune can be modeled in ServiceNow to manage licenses effectively.
- Catalog Item Creation: Applications discovered on the Intune server can be offered as catalog items for deployment through the service catalog.
- Server Instance Configuration: Create server instance records to store Intune server details and enable application discovery and integration.
Practical Usage and Configuration
- Activate both Microsoft Intune spoke and CSD 2.0 in your ServiceNow instance to enable integration.
- Set up and verify the Microsoft Intune spoke integration with CSD 2.0 by creating a server instance record for your Intune server.
- Discover Intune applications and configure software models to manage licenses and deployments.
- Define Microsoft Intune configurations to associate software with groups for deployment or revocation workflows.
- Create catalog items for Intune applications to offer them in the service catalog for end-user requests.
- Use AI agents and agentic workflows to automate and coordinate Intune management tasks, improving efficiency and reducing manual errors.
Security and Permissions
To perform operations on data related to AI agents, users must have the CSD Admin role. Ensure you install the latest Microsoft Intune spoke version and use the default connection provided for AI agents to function correctly.
Expected Outcomes
By leveraging CSD 2.0 with the Microsoft Intune spoke, ServiceNow customers can:
- Automate software deployment and revocation processes directly from the ServiceNow service catalog.
- Efficiently manage device and user assignments in Intune through AI-driven workflows.
- Maintain accurate license counts and software usage via integration with Software Asset Management.
- Reduce manual intervention and errors with AI agent-guided operations and agentic workflows.
- Customize AI agents and workflows to fit organizational needs and improve operational agility.
Use the CSD 2.0 along with the Microsoft Intune spoke to deploy and revoke software deployments, and manage distributions on hosts.
To use the Microsoft Intune spoke with CSD 2.0, you must activate Microsoft Intune spoke and CSD 2.0.
The Microsoft Intune spoke contains actions that CSD 2.0 uses to deploy software from a service catalog request and manage user and devices on Microsoft Intune servers. In addition, CSD 2.0 can manage license counts for deployed software using ServiceNow Software Asset Management, revoke software deployed by Microsoft Intune without user interaction, and manage lease periods.
