hi Sadiq,

Thank you very much for your reply.

while going through forum, I seen thread where we can manage the desktop and group policies using Intune. So can we really manage all local windows host using intune and Azure Ad?

Hello Kunal,

Not sure about Intune. You might want to check the same on the Intune forums. On Azure AD group policies are not directly supported. We have a different product called Azure AD Domain Services.
