In this blog post I will show you how to configure the Power Management options in Intune for Windows 10 devices. We will use OMA-URI settings to configure different features in Intune.
In Microsoft Intune, you can manage your Windows 10 devices very well. You can add or create custom settings for your Windows 10 devices using “custom profiles”. The custom profiles are a feature in Intune. You use custom profiles to add device settings and features that aren’t built in to Intune.
Windows 10 custom profiles use Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier (OMA-URI) settings to configure different features. These settings are typically used by mobile device manufacturers to control features on the device.
