I did all the configuration at the front end (In Intune console) required for device enrollment and successfully enrolled the device. what will happen at the backend at the server level? what objects get created? how the API calls flow and how the intune services work at the backend.

Could anyone provide a detailed description or related document?

    The best read would be Oliver Kieselbach's post https://oliverkieselbach.com/2019/07/18/intune-policy-processing-on-windows-10-explained/ or the links in this document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/ . It is quite a broad question.

    @Mohammad Ismail Sikandar Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For objects created, the device objects will be added into Azure AD and Intune after device enrollment. Here is the one in my environment:
    The device object in Azure AD portal:

    The device object in intune portal:

    For API calls flow and intune service flow, based on my research, it is not recorded in our official articles. I only find the following articles for the reference.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/developer/intune-graph-apis
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/intune-graph-overview?view=graph-rest-beta

    If you are interested in it, maybe you can consider contacting our Premier support to get more information:

    I am looking for server-level information, what will happen at sever when we enrolled a device and did the global admin have access to the MDM server.

    Basically, I faced this question in "Microsoft Interview". The interviewer asked me to explain "what will happen at backend at server level when we enrolled a device" I tried to explain about AAD ID creation and flow of push notification but he refused and asked to explain the server-level flow.

    Lost my Interview!
