Just in case you are not completely familiar with what Windows Intune is, this article should help understand it’s value.

Many times over the last year I have been asked the question, “What is Windows Intune?”  I like to describe Windows Intune as the cloud service that helps you centrally manage and secure your PCs through a simple, web-based console.  Released back in March 2011, Windows Intune has already had a major Update on October 17^th, 2011. Why should any IT Pro consider using Windows Intune?  Well, I came up with these top 10 reasons (there are many more, but let’s start with 10).

1. Windows Intune is a web based subscription service with an easy-to-use web-based console that gives you insight into your PCs. 

2. Windows Intune is in “The Cloud”.

4. Support your users with Microsoft Easy Assist.
