what is meaning of this in Intune as when I checked this for one of the device its part of Azure AD joined and not Autopilot but its showing as managed by MDE in Intune and other options for that device?

Also its showing compliance as "Not evaluated" and Ownership as "Unknown" why and what is it?

@Vinod Survase, Thanks for posting in Q&A. The device you mentioned is part of Azure AD joined and not Autopilot, but it is showing as managed by MDE in Intune. This is because MDE (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) is used to onboard devices that are not enrolled with Intune. These devices can process many of the Intune endpoint security policies. Devices enrolled with security settings management appear both in the Intune admin center and in the Defender portal. In the admin center, the Managed by field displays MDE for these devices. Compliance status is evaluated against the compliance policies that are assigned to the device, and the source of these policies and what information is in the console depends on how the device is managed. Ownership is showing as "Unknown" because the device has not been assigned to a user. Compliance is showing as "Not evaluated" because the device is not managed by Intune and compliance policies have not been assigned to the device.
