When setting up a Windows device, the user who does so becomes local Admin. These same users are now enrolled within Intune however they still hold 'local admin' rights and therefore have sufficient credentials to download software etc without admin credentials required. How do we revoke this 'local admin' access on these users/devices to stop them from doing this? If it's a Powershell script that is needed, dows anyone have a working one? Many thanks

    You can remove the local admin rights by going into computer management > users and groups > administrators

    However this will not stop it from happening in future on new devices.
