You can export device configuration profiles in Intune from the Microsoft Endpoint Admin center.

• Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
• Select Devices > Windows > Configuration Profiles.
• Click the Export option to export all the Device Configuration Profiles to a .CSV file.

Shortly a file will be downloaded in your browser that will have a list of exported device profiles. The file name begins with Intune_Device_Configuration_Profiles_Date_Time_Randomnumber.csv.

If you click the Notifications icon in top-right corner of MEM admin center, you see Exporting Profile – Export Completed notification. This indicates the device configuration profiles have been exported successfully.

You can now open the exported device configuration profiles .CSV file using Microsoft Excel application. The below screenshot shows the list of all the Device Configuration Profiles exported out of Intune.

When you export device configuration profiles, the following data are exported:

Note: When you export the configuration profiles, by default, all the profiles existing in Intune are exported. There is no way to export a single configuration profile.
