Intune Bulk Custom Notifications Supported Devices

MD-102 By islever Editorial Last updated

Short answer

C Send the custom notification only to Device3, as it is the solely managed iOS device, while Windows and registered-only Android devices are unsupported.

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains devices enrolled in Microsoft intune as shown in the following table. You need to use a bulk device action to send custom notifications. To which devices can you send the custom notifications? - Exhibit: Intune Bulk Custom Notifications Supported Devices
  1. Device1 only
  2. Device2 only
  3. Device3 only Correct Answer
  4. Device2 and Device3 only
  5. Device1, Device2, and Device3

Key Takeaways

Custom notifications test your knowledge of supported platforms (iOS/Android) and enrollment states (managed/enrolled), trapping those who assume all Android registrations or Windows devices qualify.

Microsoft Intune custom notifications require devices to be fully enrolled and running a supported OS. This page establishes that only managed iOS/iPadOS and Android devices can receive these push notifications, excluding registered-only Android and Windows devices.

Common mistake: Choosing Device2 and Device3 (Option D), assuming that any Android device registration qualifies, ignoring that registered (MAM-only) devices without Intune enrollment cannot receive MDM push notifications.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Option C is correct because custom notifications in Microsoft Intune are only supported on managed iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. Device3 represents an enrolled iOS device, which meets both the platform and enrollment requirements. A bulk device action targeting custom notifications will successfully send the push notification to Device3 via the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS).

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Device1 is a Windows device, and Windows is explicitly not supported for Intune custom notifications. Device2 is a personally owned Android device that is registered but not enrolled in Intune; because it lacks MDM management, it cannot receive the MDM push notifications required for this feature. Therefore, options A, B, D, and E are incorrect as they either include unsupported platforms or unenrolled devices.

Community Comment Notes

Commenters correctly pointed out that Windows and macOS are unsupported platforms, as GamingFuntime1985 noted with "Windows -NO, Personal Android (registered, no Intune)- NO". The confusion between options C and D stems from whether registered Android devices qualify; they do not, because custom notifications require full Intune enrollment. As Meek_Learner summarized, "custom notifications can be sent to iOS/iPadOS and Android devices only, appearing as push notifications... macOS and Windows devices do not support custom Intune notifications."

Exam Strategy

When evaluating Intune remote actions, always verify both the OS platform support and the device's enrollment state. Registered-only (MAM) devices do not receive MDM-specific push notifications like custom alerts.

    custom notifications works on all mobile devices (Android and iOS/iPadOS) but doesn't work on any computers (Windows and macOS.) "Use Microsoft Intune to send custom notifications to the users of managed iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. These messages appear as standard push notifications from the Company Portal app and from the Microsoft Intune app on a user's device, just as notifications from other applications on the device appear. Intune custom notifications aren't supported by macOS and Windows devices."
