Sync devices to get the latest policies and actions with Intune
The Sync device action forces the selected device to immediately check in with Intune. When a device checks in, it immediately receives any pending actions or policies that have been assigned to it. This feature can help you immediately validate and troubleshoot policies you've assigned, without waiting for the next scheduled check-in.
Supported platforms
- Windows
- iOS
- macOS
- Android (Device administrator and Android for Work only)
Sync a device
- Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
- Select Devices > All devices.
- In the list of devices you manage, select a device to open its Overview pane, and then select Sync.
- To confirm, select Yes.
To see the status of the sync action, choose Devices > Monitor > Device actions.
You can find standard Intune policy check-in frequencies in the Refresh cycle times.
Retryable error codes
When an administrator runs the Sync device action, iOS/iPadOS and Android apps that failed and raised a retryable error code are still available to the device. However, apps that raised a nonretryable error code must wait seven days before they're available to the device.
