    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.

    Available AI agents

    Install Now Assist for Integration Hub and start using the available AI agents. For more information, see Now Assist 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 AI Agent Studio 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 on your instance that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.

    Available agentic workflows

    Install Now Assist for Integration Hub and start using the available sample agentic workflows and AI agents. For more information, see Now Assist for Integration Hub.

    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. Use the available sample agentic workflow in AI Agent Studio so that AI agents can coordinate to solve complex problems. To modify the available sample agentic workflow as per your requirement, see Modify an agentic workflow.

    Available sample agentic workflow includes:
    Sample agentic workflow Description AI agents used Always ON by default?
    Microsoft Intune Group Management Agentic Flow Sample agentic workflow that coordinates between multiple AI agents to handle tasks that span across various functionalities in Microsoft Intune.
