How to Integrate InvGate Asset Management with Microsoft Intune

If you want to bring Microsoft-managed devices into a centralized IT Asset Management workflow, integrating InvGate Asset Management with Microsoft Intune is a practical way to do it.

This Intune integration for ITAM allows you to add Microsoft Intune as a discovery source in InvGate Asset Management. As a result, you can synchronize device data, improve visibility across managed endpoints, and work from a more complete inventory inside a single platform. Below, we’ll walk through the setup process and show what happens after the Intune device sync is in place.

Add a New Discovery Source With InvGate Asset Management's Microsoft Intune Integration

Why do you need this integration?

You need this integration to bring Intune-managed devices into a centralized asset inventory and reduce context switching between platforms.

InvGate Asset Management already supports different ways to collect asset data, including InvGate's Agent and the Network discovery feature. Adding Microsoft Intune as a discovery source expands that coverage, helping organizations incorporate managed Microsoft devices and enrich the overall picture of their IT environment.

For Microsoft Intune users, this means they can now incorporate all the devices they manage in that system (and their relevant information) into InvGate Asset Management, avoiding having to go back and forth between platforms and centralizing operations.

In essence, combining both tools improves customers' experience with InvGate Asset Management by offering a unified IT Asset Management tool that looks over their whole IT environment, strengthening Device Management capabilities and effectiveness.

How to integrate InvGate Asset Management with Microsoft Intune

The process of integrating both platforms consists of two main actions; first, configuring your credentials in Microsoft Entra ID, and then setting up the integration in InvGate Asset Management.

Let’s break down the process into actionable steps.

Step 1: Configuration of credentials in Microsoft Entra ID

Before setting up the integration in InvGate Asset Management, you need to create the required application credentials in Microsoft Entra ID. The person completing this step must have an administrator account with permission to register applications and grant API permissions.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center and open App registrations. Then click New registration.
2. Enter a name for the application, we recommend using a descriptive one such as InvGate Asset Management, select the appropriate tenant, and click Register.
3. Once the app is created, open it and go to API permissions. Then click Add a permission.
4. Select Microsoft Graph, choose Application permissions, and add the following permission:
    

   DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All

5. Click Add permissions, then review the permission status and confirm that admin consent has been granted for the tenant.
6. Next, go to Certificates & secrets and open the Client secrets tab. Click New client secret.
7. Enter a description for the secret, choose its expiration period, and click Add.
8. Copy the Value generated for the client secret right away, as it will not be displayed again. In InvGate Asset Management, this value is used in the Client secret access key field.
9. Finally, from the application’s Overview page, copy the following identifiers:
    
   • Application (client) ID → used as Client ID in InvGate Asset Management
   • Directory (tenant) ID → used as Tenant ID in InvGate Asset Management

You will use these values in the next step when configuring the Intune discovery source in InvGate Asset Management.

Step 2: Configuration of the integration in InvGate Asset Management

Once you have your Microsoft Entra ID credentials ready, the next step is to configure the integration in InvGate Asset Management.

Go to Settings > Network > Discovery sources. From there, open the catalog and select Microsoft Intune. If you already have other discovery sources configured, click Add to create a new one.

Then complete the configuration form:

• Name: Enter a name for the integration.
• Type: Select Microsoft Intune.
• Documentation: Click View if you want to open the related Knowledge Base article.
• Environment: Select the Microsoft service environment your organization uses. Global Service is the default option.
• Client ID: Enter the Application (client) ID obtained from Microsoft Entra ID.
• Client secret access key: Enter the client secret value generated in Microsoft Entra ID.
• Tenant ID: Enter the Directory (tenant) ID obtained from Microsoft Entra ID.

Once the fields are completed, click Validate and continue. After validation, you can define the operational settings for the integration:

• Credentials: Review the saved credentials and update them if needed.
• Operating system: Select which operating systems you want to synchronize from Intune. You can also click Load totals to see how many devices are available for each OS.
• Remove action: Choose what InvGate Asset Management should do if a device is deleted in Intune or is no longer synchronized.
• Schedule: Set the synchronization date, time, and repetition frequency if you want the sync to run automatically.

When everything is ready, save the configuration and run the sync.

Keep in mind that some records may be excluded from synchronization if they are incomplete or not fully synchronized in Intune, for example, devices pending approval, devices with no valid sync history, or records missing key identifiers such as the serial number.

InvGate Asset Management and Microsoft Intune integration in action

Once the Intune device sync is completed, the corresponding devices become part of your centralized inventory in InvGate Asset Management. This gives IT teams a more complete Microsoft Intune asset inventory inside the same platform they already use to manage the rest of their environment.

From the asset profile, you can review synchronized device information such as hardware details, operating system and compliance data, user information, and Intune-specific attributes like enrollment type, device category, ownership, and last check-in. For mobile devices, the profile can also display additional fields such as IMEI, carrier, or phone number when available.

This makes the integration useful beyond simple visibility. Once devices are synchronized, teams can work from a single asset record, reduce manual cross-checking between tools, and use that information in their day-to-day ITAM workflows.

If automatic owner assignment is enabled in InvGate Asset Management, synchronized devices can also be matched to existing users and assigned automatically. This helps reduce manual work and keeps ownership data more accurate after each synchronization. These updates can later be reviewed from the asset profile activity.

To sum up

Integrating InvGate Asset Management with Microsoft Intune helps organizations incorporate Intune-managed devices into a centralized asset inventory and improve visibility across their Microsoft-managed environment.

Rather than replacing other data collection methods, this Intune integration for ITAM complements them by extending coverage to devices already managed in Intune. As a result, teams can work with a more complete inventory, reduce context switching between platforms, and support Device Management efforts from a single place.
