    Summary of CSD 2.0 for Microsoft Intune

    CSD 2.0 integrated with the Microsoft Intune spoke enables ServiceNow customers to deploy, revoke, and manage software distributions on devices managed via Microsoft Intune. Activation of both CSD 2.0 and the Microsoft Intune spoke is required to utilize these capabilities. This integration also supports managing software license counts through ServiceNow Software Asset Management, automating software revocation without user interaction, and managing lease periods for deployed software.

    Key Features

    • Microsoft Intune spoke actions: These allow deployment of software from service catalog requests and management of users and devices on Microsoft Intune servers.
    • AI Agents for Microsoft Intune: Standalone AI agents automate tasks such as creating and deleting application assignments, managing group membership (adding/removing members), and creating or deleting groups within Microsoft Intune. These agents require the CSD Admin role for data access and operation.
    • Agentic Workflows: Combine multiple AI agents with Large Language Model (LLM) instructions to coordinate complex Microsoft Intune management tasks. Sample workflows are available and customizable to fit organizational needs.
    • Software Asset Management Integration: Enables license tracking and management for software deployed via Intune.
    • Service Catalog Integration: Create catalog items from discovered Microsoft Intune applications to enable users to order software deployments through the ServiceNow service catalog, triggering automated deployment workflows.

    Getting Started and Configuration

    • Activate and configure the Microsoft Intune spoke alongside CSD 2.0.
    • Create a server instance record to connect and store Microsoft Intune server details.
    • Discover applications on the Intune server and set up corresponding software models for license management.
    • Define Microsoft Intune configurations to associate software with target groups, enabling deployment and revocation.
    • Configure group assignments for applications to streamline deployment targeting.
    • Create service catalog items for Intune applications to allow end-users to request software via ServiceNow.
    • Use the default connection provided with the Microsoft Intune spoke for AI agent functionality and ensure the latest spoke version is installed.

    Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Automate and simplify software deployment and revocation on devices managed through Microsoft Intune.
    • Maintain accurate software license counts and compliance through integration with Software Asset Management.
    • Leverage AI agents and agentic workflows to reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency in managing Intune resources.
    • Provide end-users with a smooth software request experience through the ServiceNow service catalog.

    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.

    Available AI agents

    Install Now Assist for Integration Hub and start using the available AI agents. For more information, see ServiceNow Otto for Integration Hub.

    This application provides standalone AI agents that mimic human-like intelligence to perform tasks in your ServiceNow instance. The agents guide you through the required details, confirms actions for safety, and attempts to handle errors while performing operations.
    • In the ServiceNow agentic system, you can create an agentic workflow that comprises of a set of large language model (LLM) instructions along with one or more standalone AI agents to execute an objective. See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.

      You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.

    • You can create a clone of the required spoke AI agent and customize it as per your requirement. See Duplicate an AI agent for more information about creating a clone.
    • See Now Assist AI agents for information about AI agents.
    Available AI agents include:
    AI agent Description
    Microsoft Intune application assignment deletion AI agent Enables users to delete application assignments in Intune.
    Microsoft Intune group deletion management AI agent Enables users to delete groups in Microsoft Intune.
    Microsoft Intune application assignment creation AI agent Enables users to create application assignments in Intune.
    Microsoft Intune group membership removal AI agent Enables users to remove members (Devices, Users, or Owners) from groups in Microsoft Intune.
    Microsoft Intune group membership addition AI agent Enables users to add members (devices, users, and owners) to groups in Intune.
    Microsoft Intune group creation management AI agent Enables users to create groups in Microsoft Intune.
    Note:
    • To access data or perform operations on data in the table that is associated with the AI agent, users must have the CSD Admin role.
    • Ensure that you install the latest version of Microsoft Intune spoke.
    • To use the AI agents, ensure that you are using the default connection that is available with the Microsoft Intune spoke.

    There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.

    Available sample agentic workflows
