In a large organisation, devices wont be manually removed one by one in the portal, meaning that the compliance data gets skewed. It would be good to be able to set a device cleanup rule (similar to the intune cleanup rule) where a device is removed from the advanced insights data if its not been seen in a selectable amount of days/weeks/months
This wouldn't be useful for everyone, as you may want to flag those devices not just remove them, but for some i would imagine it would be handy.
From merged item 8355:
Problem: No linkage between Intune deletion and portal presence
Proposal:
Introduce an optional integration setting:
“Respect Intune device lifecycle”
Behavior when enabled:
If a device is deleted in Intune → automatically:
Mark device as inactive, or
Remove it from the portal, or
Flag it as stale/decommissioned
Add a configurable action:
Delete immediately
Mark stale after X days
Require manual confirmation
Customer explicitly expects Intune to drive lifecycle
You noted need to “be careful not to assume deletion was intentional”
This makes it opt-in, avoiding risk for other customers (important design constraint you already called out live).
