For each device readiness assessment check, the tool will report one of three possible results:
| Result | Meaning |

Device and network requirements
The Device readiness assessment checker checks these device and network-related requirements:
| Check | Description |
|---|---|
| Hardware | Devices must meet specific hardware requirements to work with Microsoft Managed Desktop. For more information, see Device requirements. If your device fails any of the checks, it's not compatible with Microsoft Managed Desktop. |
| Network endpoints | Devices much be able to reach several key endpoints to work with Microsoft Managed Desktop. If the tool reports a Not ready result, see the detailed report to find out which endpoints weren't reachable. Then, adjust your firewall or other network settings to ensure those endpoints can be reached. |
Other settings
| Setting | Description |
