Jeremy Moskowitz Enterprise Mobility MVP & Lead Trainer While the Intune conflict reporting is a little basic right now, it is sure to expand as Intune matures and developes further. Unfortunately, if one of the profiles involves a custom OMA-URI, then the profile will not appear. Click on one of the conflicting profiles and you can see the setting in contention as well as the source profiles once again.

We would then find that the device in question would have its Deployment status set to “Conflict.” Now that we have identified the device at hand, we can drill down to that machine and click “Device configuration” and see any profiles with conflicts. We can do this by clicking on Device Status. So let’s find out which device or devices are reporting the conflict.

Of course, this default behavior may not be what you want. If both profiles are of the same type of policy, the most restrictive setting is enforced. If the settings are from an Intune configuration policy and a compliance policy, the compliance policy wins. So first off, what happens when contention like this occurs? In this case, there is a decorum to settling conflicts between two profiles trying to command opposing configuration settings. So we know that two MDM profiles are clashing with one another. In the example below, we can see from the Profiles screen in the Intune portal that we have two profiles conflicting with one another. When the conflict is strictly due to MDM profiles competing with one another, you can use your MDM management interface to easily track down the points of contention. an MDM profile is challenging as mentioned earlier. Tracking down the source of conflict between multiple sources such as a GPO vs. Just like families, there is bound to be conflicts in MDM land once in a while.
